,
, “to rule” (
RV
, is translated “to reign.” (2) In
Rev. 17:18,

, “a kingdom,” is translated “reigneth,” lit.,
“hath a kingdom,” suggestive of a distinction between the sovereignty of mystic Babylon
and that of ordinary sovereigns.

used metaphorically of “the will and the affections,” Rev. 2:23, “reins” (cf. Ps. 7:9; Jer.
11:20; 17:10; 20:12). The feelings and emotions were regarded as having their seat in the

disapproval ( , “away from,”

Christ by the elders and chief priests of the Jews, Matt. 21:42; Mark 8:31; 12:10; Luke
9:22; 20:17; 1 Pet. 2:4, 7 (

(

make
(i.e., “without place,” , negative,
, “to place”), hence, besides its
meanings “to set aside, make void, nullify, disannul,” signifies “to reject”; in Mark 6:26,
regarding Herod’s pledge to Salome, it almost certainly has the meaning “to break faith
with” (cf. the Sept. of Jer. 12:6, and Lam. 1:2, “dealt treacherously”). Moulton and
Milligan illustrate this meaning from the papyri. Field suggests “disappoint.” In Mark 7:9
“ye reject (the commandment)” means “ye set aside”; in Luke 7:30, “ye reject” may have
the meaning of “nullifying or making void the counsel of God”; in Luke 10:16 (four
times), “rejecteth,”
RV
(

, “despiseth”); “rejecteth” in John 12:48; “reject” in 1 Cor.
1:19 (

charges in v. 2; in 1 Tim. 5:12
