The Key Word — שָׁלְטָן, shal.Tangenerated

How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against. The BSB has dominion, which is echoed in the KJV and ASV, maintaining the concept of sovereign control.
Where translations differ is in the rendering of שָׁלְטָן. The BSB, KJV, and others use dominion, while versions like the NETB and BBE opt for kingdom, indicating a slight variation in emphasis on authority versus territory.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb יְהִ֤יב, it was given, governs the entire verse, with multiple noun phrases detailing what was given and to whom. The structure emphasizes the action of giving and the recipients of that authority.
The order of the Hebrew words places the dominion and authority first, highlighting their importance, followed by the subjects who will serve, which includes all peoples and languages.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates שׇׁלְטָן as ἐχουσία, meaning authority or power. This choice reflects a broader interpretation of dominion, focusing on the concept of having control rather than merely the territory itself.
The Greek term suggests a more relational aspect of authority, indicating not just the possession of dominion but also the responsibility that comes with it.

rev'-er-ens: In the Old Testament, "reverence" occurs as the translation of two Hebrew words, yare' and shachah. The root idea of the former is "fear." It is used to express the attitude toward God Himself, as in Ps 89:7 the King James Version; or toward His sanctuary, as in Le 19:30; 26:2. So the group of ideas there would be "fear," "awe," "reverence." The root idea of the second is "falling down," as prostration of the body. It is used to express the bearing toward another who is considered superior, as in 2Sa 9:6 the King James Version; 1Ki 1:31 the King James Version; Es 3:2,5. The group of ideas here, therefore, is…

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
