man of power, holder of authority

man of power, holder of authority

A strict ruler. A person who exploits his position and power assertively.

(“So anyone who is a ruler over the public in Israel and does not consider how he leads Israel, will ultimately fall” – Shir HaShirim Rabbah (Vilna), Parasha 6. Also: “When a man is appointed to authority, he will need greater expenditure for it, so it is fitting for those under him to bring him an offering according to his power, so that he may behave with honor according to that authority, and should not be prevented by lack of possessions” – Ralbag, I Samuel, chapter 12.)
