The concept of provinces is significant in understanding the political and administrative structures of ancient empires mentioned in the Bible, such as the Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, and Roman empires. Old Testament Context The Old Testament provides several references to provinces, particularly in the context of the Persian Empire. The Book of Esther offers a detailed glimpse into the administrative divisions of this empire. <a href="/esther/1.htm">Esther 1:1</a> states, "This is what happened in the days of Xerxes, who reigned over 127 provinces from India to Cush." This vast expanse highlights the extensive reach of the Persian Empire and the importance of provinces in maintaining control over diverse regions. The role of provincial governors, or satraps, is also noted in the Book of Daniel. <a href="/daniel/6.htm">Daniel 6:1-2</a> describes how Darius the Mede organized his kingdom: "It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom, with three administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel." This structure ensured efficient governance and facilitated the collection of tribute and enforcement of laws. New Testament Context In the New Testament, the concept of provinces is primarily associated with the Roman Empire, which had a well-defined provincial system. The Roman provinces were crucial in the spread of early Christianity, as they provided a network of roads and cities that facilitated travel and communication. <a href="/acts/23-34.htm">Acts 23:34</a> mentions the province of Cilicia, where the Apostle Paul was born: "The governor read the letter and asked what province he was from. Learning that he was from Cilicia..." This reference underscores the administrative divisions within the Roman Empire and their relevance to legal and political matters. The Roman provincial system also played a role in the trial of Jesus. Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, was responsible for maintaining order in his province and presided over Jesus' trial (<a href="/john/18-28.htm">John 18:28-40</a>). The governance of Judea as a Roman province illustrates the complex interactions between Roman authorities and local populations. Historical and Theological Significance Provinces in biblical times were not merely administrative units; they were also arenas for cultural and religious exchange. The dispersion of the Jewish people across various provinces, as seen in the Assyrian and Babylonian exiles, led to the spread of Jewish communities and synagogues throughout the ancient world. This dispersion set the stage for the later spread of Christianity, as Jewish synagogues often served as initial points of contact for the apostles. Theologically, the existence of provinces and empires in the biblical narrative highlights God's sovereignty over human history. Despite the rise and fall of empires, the biblical message emphasizes that God's purposes prevail. The use of provinces as instruments in God's plan is evident in the preservation of the Jewish people during the Persian Empire, as recounted in the Book of Esther, and in the spread of the Gospel during the Roman Empire. In summary, the concept of provinces in the Bible reflects the complex political landscapes of ancient empires and serves as a backdrop for significant biblical events and theological themes.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Province<ol> <li>In the Old Testament this word appears in connection with the wars between Ahab and Ben-hadad.

The classification of provinces supposed to need military control and therefore placed under the immediate government of the Caesar, and those still belonging theoretically to the republic and administered by the senate, and of the latter again into proconsular and praetorian, is recognized, more or less distinctly, in the Gospels and the Acts.

Meaning of the Term 2. Roman Provincial Administration (1) First Period (2) Second Period (3) Third Period 3. Division of Provinces 4. Province of Judea 5. Revenue LITERATURE 1. Meaning of the Term: Province (provincia) did not originally denote a territorial circumscription in Roman usage, since the employment of the word was much more ancient than any of the conquests of the Romans outside of Italy. In the most comprehensive official sense it signified a magistrate's sphere of administrative action, which in one instance might be the direction of jurisdiction at Rome, in another the management of military operations against a particular hostile community. When the imperium was conferred upon two consuls at the beginning of the Republic, and upon a praetor in 367 B.C., and finally upon a second praetor in 241 B.C., it became necessary in practice to define their individual competence which was unlimited in theory. When the Romans extended their control over lands situated outside of Italy, it became expedient to fix territorial limits to the exercise of authority by the magistrates who were regularly sent abroad, so that provincia signified henceforth in an abstract sense the rule of the governor, and in a concrete sense the specified region entrusted to his care; and with the development and consolidation of the Roman system of administration, the geographical meaning of the word became more and more significant. 2. Roman Provincial Administration: The history of Roman provincial administration in the more definite sense commences in 227 B.C., when four praetors were elected for the first time, of whom two were assigned to the government of the provinces. Three periods may be distinguished in the history of the system of provincial administration: (1) from 227 B.C. to Sulla, (2) from Sulla to Augustus, and (3) the Empire. (1) First Period. During the first period, provision was made for the government of the provinces by means of special praetors, or, in exceptional circumstances, by consuls, during their term of office. Accordingly, the number of praetors was increased from four in 227 B.C. to eight at the time of Sulla. (2) Second Period. In accordance with the reforms of Sulla all the consuls and praetors remained at Rome during their year of office, and were entrusted with the administration of provinces a subsequent year with the title proconsul (pro consule) or propraetor (pro praetore). The proconsuls were sent to the more important provinces. The senate determined the distinction between consular and praetorian provinces and generally controlled the assignment of the provinces to the ex-magistrates. Julius Caesar increased the praetors to sixteen, but Augustus reduced them to twelve. (3) Third Period. In 27 B.C., Augustus as commander-in-chief of the Roman army definitely assumed the administration of all provinces which required the presence of military forces and left the other provinces to the control of the senate. There were then twelve imperial and ten senatorial provinces, but all provinces added after 27 B.C. came under imperial administration. The emperor administered his provinces through the agency of personal delegates, legati Augusti of senatorial, and praefecti or procuratores of equestrian, rank. The term of their service was not uniform, but continued usually for more than a single year. The senatorial administration was essentially a continuation of the post-Sullan, republican regime. The senatorial governors were called proconsuls generally, whether they were of consular or praetorian rank; but Africa and Asia alone were reserved for exconsuls, the eight remaining senatorial provinces being attributed to ex-praetors. The financial administration of each imperial province was entrusted to a procurator, that of each senatorial province to a quaestor. 3. Division of Provinces: The provinces were divided into smaller circumscriptions (civitates) for the purposes of local government. In the older provinces these districts corresponded generally with the urban communities which had been the units of sovereignty before the advent of the Romans. Under Roman rule they were divided into different classes on the basis of their dignity and prerogatives, as follows: (1) Coloniae: Roman or Latin colonies established after the model of the Italian commonwealths. (2) Civitates Foederatae: Communities whose independence had been guaranteed by a formal treaty with Rome. (3) Civitates Liberae: Communities whose independence the Romans respected, although not bound to do so by a formal obligation. (4) Civitates Stipendiariae: Communities which had surrendered to the discretion of the Romans and to which limited powers of local government were granted by the conquerors as a matter of convenience. The civitates stipendiariae, and in some cases the colonies, paid taxes to the Roman government, the greater part of which was in the form either of a certain proportion of the annual products of the soil, such as a fifth or tenth, or a fixed annual payment in money or kind. 4. Province of Judea: Judaea became a part of the province of Syria in 63 B.C., but was assigned in 40 B.C. as a kingdom to Herod the Great, whose sovereignty became effective three years later. The provincial regime was reestablished in 6 A.D., and was broken only during the years 41-44 A.D., when Herod Agrippa was granted royal authority over the land (Josephus, Josephus, Antiquities XIX, viii, 2). The Roman administration was in the hands of the procurators (see PROCURATOR) who resided at Caesarea (Josephus, BJ, II, xv, 6; <a href="/acts/23-23.htm">Acts 23:23, 33</a>; <a href="/acts/25-1.htm">Acts 25:1</a>) in the palace of Herod the Great (<a href="/acts/23-1.htm">Acts 23:1-35</a>). The procurators of Judea were subject to the authority of the imperial governors of Syria, as is evident from the deposition of Pontius Pilate by Vitellius (Josephus, Ant, XVIII, iv, 2; Tacitus, Annals vi.32). The procurator was competent to exercise criminal jurisdiction over the provincials in cases involving a capital sentence (Josephus, BJ, II, viii, 1), but he was bound to grant an appeal by Roman citizens for trial at Rome (<a href="/acts/25-11.htm">Acts 25:11</a>). A death sentence by the Sanhedrin required the sanction of the procurator, as appears in the process against the Saviour. Under Roman rule cities like Caesarea, Sebaste, and Jerusalem became organs for local government, like the urban communities in other parts of the Empire. 5. Revenue: The revenue of Palestine under Claudius is said to have been 12,000,000 denarii (about USD2, 400,000, or 500,000 British pounds (in 1915); compare Josephus, Ant XIX, viii, 2). In addition to the ground tax, the amount of which is not known, a variety of indirect contributions were collected on auctions, salt, highways, bridges, etc., which constituted, no doubt, the field of activity in which the publicans gained their unenviable reputation.
