Strong's Lexicon paqid: Overseer, officer, official, steward Original Word: פֶקִיד Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּקַד (paqad), which means to attend to, visit, muster, appoint, or oversee. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar roles is ἐπίσκοπος (episkopos), which is translated as overseer or bishop in the New Testament (e.g., 1 Timothy 3:2). Usage: The term "paqid" refers to an individual who holds a position of authority or responsibility, often tasked with oversight or management. In the biblical context, it is used to describe various roles such as officers, stewards, or overseers who are appointed to manage specific duties or areas of governance. The role of a "paqid" is often associated with accountability and stewardship, reflecting the responsibilities entrusted to them by a higher authority. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of oversight and stewardship was integral to the societal and religious structure. The "paqid" would have been a trusted individual, often appointed by kings, priests, or other leaders, to manage resources, people, or specific tasks. This role was crucial in maintaining order and ensuring the proper functioning of both civic and religious duties. The position required integrity, wisdom, and faithfulness, reflecting the broader biblical theme of stewardship under God's ultimate authority.
