management, stewardship, administration
Senses
1. management, stewardship, administration — The responsibility of managing, administering, or overseeing a household, estate, or divine plan; encompasses both the concrete office of stewardship and God's cosmic plan of redemption. Spanish 'administración' and 'mayordomía' both translate the single concept of entrusted management. Hindi 'प्रबंध' (management) and 'भण्डारीपन' (stewardship role) are synonymous. Arabic uses 'تَدْبيرِ' (arrangement/planning) and 'وَكَالَةِ' (agency/stewardship) interchangeably across these occurrences. Korean '경륜을' (dispensation) and '청지기직' (stewardship office) reflect the same semantic field. Swahili 'mpango' (plan), 'usimamizi' (oversight), and 'uwakili' (stewardship) all denote entrusted management. The three clusters are mere inflectional and contextual variants of one unified sense across all 9 occurrences. 9×
