𐤓𐤃/𐤌
râdâh
ruling them
To rule, have dominion, or exercise control or authority over someone or something. רָדָה primarily denotes the exercise of authoritative control, often but not always with the nuance of subduing, governing, or directing—especially over people, animals, territories, or circumstances. In some contexts, it can carry the idea of dominion with the possibility of severity, but not necessarily oppression. The term also occasionally connotes the act of treading or pressing, as in pressing out olives in a press.

| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular, construct form with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular denotes an ongoing agentive action, rendered as "the one ruling." The 3rd person masculine plural suffix is preserved as "them," yielding "the one ruling them" to reflect active dominion exercised over others. |
