ge.vir denotes a position of authority over others, expressed through service and submission.

The two occurrences portray the same use: a man placed in authority over others. In Genesis 27:29 and Genesis 27:37, the surrounding clauses describe brothers, peoples, or nations serving and bowing before the one so designated.

1. Authority over those who serve or bow · dominant

   Both occurrences are masculine singular absolute nouns within declarations of superiority over others. In Genesis 27:29 the APB renders the surrounding clause "Be lord over your brothers" amid peoples serving and nations bowing; in Genesis 27:37 it renders "I have made him lord over you" and adds that his brothers were given as servants.

   Genesis 27:29Genesis 27:37

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with "lord" in both Genesis 27:29 and Genesis 27:37. This rendering is confirmed by the parallel clauses of service, bowing, and servants rather than treated as a precise lexical equivalence.
