Usage: The term שֹׁטֵר (shoter) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to various types of officials, including scribes, officers, and magistrates. These individuals often held positions of authority and were responsible for administrative and judicial duties. Context: The Hebrew term שֹׁטֵר (shoter) appears in several contexts within the Old Testament, denoting individuals who held roles of authority and responsibility. In Exodus 5:6, the term is used to describe the officers of the Israelites who were under the authority of the Egyptian taskmasters. These officers were responsible for overseeing the labor of the Israelites and ensuring that the work quotas were met. In Deuteronomy 1:15, Moses appoints שֹׁטְרִים (shotrim) along with judges to help govern the people, indicating their role in administration and justice. The שֹׁטֵר (shoter) is also mentioned in the context of military organization, as seen in Deuteronomy 20:5-9, where they are responsible for communicating instructions to the troops and managing exemptions from military service. The role of the שֹׁטֵר (shoter) is further highlighted in 1 Chronicles 23:4 and 2 Chronicles 26:11, where they are involved in the organization and administration of the Levites and the army, respectively. These references illustrate the diverse functions of the שֹׁטֵר (shoter) as both civil and military officials, emphasizing their importance in maintaining order and governance within the community.
