dominion
A domain or area of rule; abstractly, authority or dominion exercised by a ruler. In the Hebrew Bible, מִמְשָׁל refers primarily to the concept or sphere of sovereignty—either in the literal sense of a territory under a ruler, or more abstractly as the act or state of ruling, governance, or control. Occasionally the term is used to describe the realm over which a particular authority extends, whether human kings, officials, or even celestial bodies.
