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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>(a Pers. title) governor<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>governor (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">תִּרְשָׁתָא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Tirshathâ, title of Persian governor in Judaea</b></font>, according to Mey<sup>Entstehung d.
