It conveys the idea of dominion and control, typically in a political or administrative context. The word can describe a person who has been given the authority to govern or rule over others.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, rulers and governors were central figures in maintaining order and executing justice within a society. The concept of authority was deeply embedded in the social and political structures of the time. The term "shallit" reflects the hierarchical nature of these societies, where power was often concentrated in the hands of a few individuals who were responsible for the welfare and governance of their people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/7989.htm">shallit</a><br><span
