Majestic, mighty; noble — describing grandeur in nature, God, or rulers; substantively, a noble or leader
The adjective addir paints with a broad brush of grandeur: mighty waters in the song of the sea (Exod 15:10), the majestic name of YHWH bracketing Psalm 8, powerful gods terrifying the Philistines (1 Sam 4:8), and the towering cedar of Ezekiel 17:23. When used as a substantive, it shifts from quality to social role — the nobles who refuse to bend their necks to the work of the LORD (Neh 3:5), the chieftains of Judges 5:13-25, and the shepherds-as-rulers of Jeremiah 25:34-36. German distinguishes herrlich ('glorious') from maechtig ('mighty'), and Spanish separates majestuoso from poderoso, reflecting an internal semantic boundary between splendor and raw power.
Senses
1. nobles, leaders — Used as a substantive for nobles, chiefs, or leaders of a people — those who hold social authority. Deborah's song celebrates the nobles who marched with her (Judg 5:13, 25), Nehemiah names nobles who refused to work (Neh 3:5) and those who sealed the covenant (Neh 10:29), and Jeremiah addresses the 'mighty ones of the flock' as doomed rulers (Jer 25:34-36). Spanish nobles and French nobles confirm the social-rank reading, while German der-Edlen ('the noble ones') reinforces the substantival pattern. 13×

2. majestic, glorious, magnificent — An adjective of majesty, splendor, and glory — applied to God, His name, and impressive natural or royal phenomena. Psalm 8:1, 9 frames its hymn with 'how majestic is your name in all the earth,' Psalm 93:4 declares YHWH more majestic than mighty waters, and Psalm 76:4 praises God as glorious from the mountains of prey. Spanish majestuoso, German herrlich ('glorious'), and French majestueux all cluster here, distinguishing aesthetic grandeur from brute force. 8×

3. mighty, powerful — An adjective or substantive emphasizing raw might and power — the overwhelming force of mighty waters, powerful nations, or fearsome gods. The waters at the Red Sea are addir (Exod 15:10), the Philistines tremble before 'mighty gods' (1 Sam 4:8), and Ezekiel depicts Egypt's downfall among mighty nations (Ezek 32:18). Spanish poderoso/poderosas, German maechtig ('mighty'), and French puissant mark the shift from aesthetic majesty to sheer force. 6×
