Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic root שׁלט (shalat), meaning "to rule" or "to have dominion."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G746 (ἀρχή, archē): Often translated as "beginning" or "rule," this term can refer to the concept of authority or the commencement of a rule. Usage: The word שָׁלְטָן is used in the context of describing the dominion or authority of empires or rulers, particularly in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament. Context: The term שָׁלְטָן appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe the concept of dominion or authority, often in relation to the empires that play a significant role in the narrative of Daniel. For instance, in Daniel 4:22 (BSB), the term is used to describe the extent of King Nebuchadnezzar's dominion: "Your majesty has become great and strong; your greatness has grown until it reaches the sky, and your dominion (שָׁלְטָן) extends to the ends of the earth." This highlights the vastness and power of the Babylonian Empire under Nebuchadnezzar's rule. The term is significant in understanding the biblical perspective on earthly kingdoms and their temporary nature in contrast to the eternal dominion of God.
