mis.rah denotes governing authority, pictured as resting on a child's shoulder.

The supplied usage presents this noun as governing authority placed upon a child's shoulder in Isaiah 9:6. Its other occurrence has the same absolute singular noun form, but the APB wording in Isaiah 9:5 does not isolate the term's contribution.

Senses in use

  1. Governing authority borne by a ruler · dominant

    In Isaiah 9:6, the absolute singular noun occurs in the clause that the APB renders, “dominion rests on his shoulder,” portraying authority as placed upon the child. Isaiah 9:5 also has the noun in the absolute singular, though its APB fire imagery does not make the term's specific contribution clear.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 9:6 the APB presents the clause as “dominion rests on his shoulder.” In Isaiah 9:5, the translation does not visibly identify a corresponding English expression.
