Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G935 (βασιλεύς, basileus): This Greek term translates to "king" and is used in the New Testament to denote a ruler or sovereign, similar to the authoritative connotation of מָרֵא.
• G2962 (κύριος, kurios): This Greek word means "lord" or "master" and is frequently used in the New Testament to refer to Jesus Christ as Lord, paralleling the authoritative aspect of מָרֵא in the Old Testament.

Usage: This Aramaic term appears in the context of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, where it is used to refer to a person of authority or a master.

Context: • The term מָרֵא (mare') is an Aramaic noun that appears in the context of the exilic and post-exilic periods of Israel's history, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. In these texts, the word is used to describe individuals who hold positions of authority or ownership. For example, in Daniel 2:47, the term is used to refer to God as the "Lord of kings," highlighting His supreme authority over earthly rulers. Similarly, in Ezra 5:3, it is used to describe the Persian officials who were questioning the rebuilding of the temple, indicating their authoritative role. The use of מָרֵא in these contexts underscores the recognition of hierarchical structures and the acknowledgment of authority, whether divine or human.
