Strong's Lexicon tiphsar: Scribe, Officer Original Word: טִפְסַר Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: tiphcar Pronunciation: tif-sar' Phonetic Spelling: (tif-sar') Definition: Scribe, Officer Meaning: a military governor Word Origin: Of foreign origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the role of a scribe or officer in the New Testament context can be related to terms like "γραμματεύς" (grammateus - Strong's Greek 1122), which refers to a scribe or teacher of the law. Usage: The term "tiphsar" is used to denote a scribe or an officer, typically one who holds a position of authority or responsibility. In the context of the ancient Near East, a scribe was not only a writer but often a person of considerable influence, involved in administration and governance. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern societies, scribes were essential for the administration of kingdoms and empires. They were responsible for recording events, managing correspondence, and maintaining legal and economic records. The role of a scribe was highly respected, as literacy was not widespread, and their skills were crucial for the functioning of the state. The term "tiphsar" reflects this important societal role, often associated with governance and military administration.
