It conveys the idea of someone who has been set apart for a specific role of governance or command. The term is used in various contexts to denote leadership, whether in a military, civic, or tribal setting.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, leadership roles were often designated by divine appointment or hereditary succession. Leaders such as judges, kings, and military captains played crucial roles in guiding the people according to God's laws and purposes. The term "qatsin" reflects the hierarchical structure of ancient Near Eastern societies, where leaders were responsible for maintaining order, justice, and defense.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a chief, ruler<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>chief (3), chiefs (1), commander (1), ruler (3), rulers (4).<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">קָצִין</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Daniel 11:18</sup> <font size="+1"><b>chief, ruler</b></font> (properly <em>decider</em>, compare Dr<sup>Daniel 11:8</sup>); — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ק</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/11-6.htm">Judges 11:6</a> +; construct <font class="hebrew2">קְצִּין</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/3-7.htm">Isaiah 3:7</a>; plural construct <font class="hebrew2">קְעִינֵי</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/1-40.htm">Isaiah 1:40</a> +; suffix <font class="hebrew2">קְצִינַיִח</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/22-3.htm">Isaiah 22:3</a>; — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <em>chief, commander</em> in war <a href="/interlinear/joshua/10-24.htm">Joshua 10:24</a> (JE), <a href="/interlinear/judges/11-6.htm">Judges 11:6</a>,11 ("" <font class="hebrew2">ראֹשׁ</font>), <a href="/interlinear/daniel/11-18.htm">Daniel 11:18</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <em>dictator</em>, <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/3-67.htm">Isaiah 3:67</a>.<p> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>3</b></font> more Generally, <em>ruler</em>, man in authority, <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/1-10.htm">Isaiah 1:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/22-3.htm">Isaiah 22:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/micah/3-1.htm">Micah 3:1,9</a>; of ants, <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">אֵין ק</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/6-7.htm">Proverbs 6:7</a> (+<font class="hebrew2">שֹׁטֵר</font>, <font class="hebrew2">משֵׁל</font>). — <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/25-15.htm">Proverbs 25:15</a> read probably <font class="hebrew2">קֶצֶף</font> (Toy). <p><font class="hebrew2">קְצָוֺת</font> see <font class="hebrew2">קְצָת</font>. above<p><font class="hebrew2">קצח</font> (√ of following; meaning unknown; Late Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">קֶצַח</font> = Biblical Hebrew; Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb089203.gif">, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb089204.gif"> <em>seeds used for seasoning</em>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>captain, guide, prince, ruler <p>From <a href="/hebrew/7096.htm">qatsah</a> in the sense of determining; a magistrate (as deciding) or other leader -- captain, guide, prince, ruler.
