It is used in contexts where authority, control, or governance is exercised. This term can refer to both legitimate and illegitimate forms of power, depending on the context in which it appears.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of rulership and dominion was central to societal structure. Kings, rulers, and leaders were often seen as divinely appointed figures who exercised control over their subjects. The idea of dominion also extends to the natural world, reflecting the biblical mandate given to humanity in Genesis to "fill the earth and subdue it" (Genesis 1:28, BSB). The exercise of power was often associated with responsibility and stewardship, reflecting the character of God as the ultimate ruler.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
