Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁלַט (shalat), which means "to rule" or "to have dominion." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1413: δυναστεία (dunasteia) • Refers to power, dominion, or a ruling authority. • G1849: ἐξουσία (exousia) • Denotes authority, power, or the right to act. • G2962: κύριος (kurios) • Translated as "lord" or "master," indicating one who has authority or control. These Greek terms reflect similar concepts of authority and power as found in the Hebrew שַׁלִּיט (shalit), emphasizing the role of leaders and rulers within both the Old and New Testament contexts. Usage: The word שַׁלִּיט (shalit) appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe individuals who hold positions of power or authority. It is used to refer to rulers, leaders, or those with significant influence. Context: • The term שַׁלִּיט (shalit) is found in several passages within the Hebrew Scriptures, often in contexts that highlight the authority and leadership of the individual described. For example, in the book of Daniel, the term is used to describe rulers and officials who have significant control and influence over their domains. • In Daniel 2:10, the Chaldeans refer to a "ruler" (שַׁלִּיט) when discussing the king's decree: "The Chaldeans answered the king, 'There is not a man on earth who can do what the king requests. No king, however great and mighty, has ever asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or Chaldean.'" • The term is also used in Ecclesiastes 8:8, where it speaks to the limitations of human authority: "No man has power over the wind to contain it; so no one has power over the day of his death. As no one is discharged in time of war, so wickedness will not release those who practice it." • The use of שַׁלִּיט (shalit) underscores the concept of human authority and its limitations, often contrasting it with divine sovereignty.
