H4896 H4896
rule, dominion; authority or governing control exercised over something
Job uses this word when God questions him about the natural order: Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you establish their rule over the earth? The term captures the idea of governing authority or controlling power that the celestial realm exercises over earthly affairs. It's part of God's overwhelming response to Job, pointing to the cosmic order that operates beyond human control or understanding. The heavens have their laws and their dominion—can Job claim to direct or master them?

1. sense 1 — Refers to the rule or dominion that the heavens exercise over the earth in Job 38:33. God asks Job whether he can establish or set this governing authority, emphasizing human inability to control the cosmic order. The possessive form 'its rule' indicates the inherent authority belonging to the celestial realm. Spanish 'dominio' captures the sense of sovereign control. The context is God's demonstration of divine wisdom and power through rhetorical questions about creation—the regular, ordered influence of heavenly bodies over earthly seasons and cycles operates according to laws Job neither made nor can modify. 1×
