Berean Strong's Lexicon shallit: Powerful, ruler, having authority Original Word: שַׁלִּיט Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׁלַט (shalat), meaning "to have power" or "to rule." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1849 (ἐξουσία, exousia): Often translated as "authority" or "power," this Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe the authority given to Jesus and His disciples. - G1413 (δυναστεία, dynasteia): Meaning "dominion" or "power," this term is related to ruling authority. Usage: The term "shallit" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe someone who possesses power or authority, often in a governing or ruling capacity. It conveys the idea of dominion and control, typically in a political or administrative context. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, rulers and those in authority were often seen as divinely appointed, with their power being a reflection of divine will. The concept of authority was deeply intertwined with religious and social structures, where kings and leaders were expected to uphold justice and order. The term "shallit" would have been understood within this framework, emphasizing the responsibility and power vested in leaders.
