Strong's Lexicon tirshatha: Governor Original Word: תִּרְשָׁתָא Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: Tirshatha' Pronunciation: teer-sha-THAW Phonetic Spelling: (teer-shaw-thaw') Definition: Governor Meaning: Tirshatha Word Origin: Of Persian origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "tirshatha" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific title used in the context of the Persian administration over Judah. Usage: The term "tirshatha" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a governor or a high-ranking official, particularly in the context of the Persian Empire's administration over the province of Judah. It denotes a person with significant authority and responsibility, often tasked with overseeing the affairs of the region and ensuring compliance with the imperial directives. Cultural and Historical Background: The title "tirshatha" reflects the administrative structure of the Persian Empire, which ruled over a vast territory including the land of Judah after the Babylonian exile. The Persian rulers appointed governors to manage different regions, and these officials played crucial roles in the restoration and governance of the Jewish community during the post-exilic period. The term is indicative of the Persian influence on the Jewish society of that time, as well as the integration of Jewish leaders into the broader imperial system.
