It denotes a position of authority and responsibility, typically involving administrative or governmental duties. The role of a "segan" would include overseeing various aspects of governance and ensuring the implementation of the ruler's policies.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, the role of a "segan" was crucial for maintaining the stability and efficiency of a kingdom or province. These officials were often appointed by the king and were responsible for managing specific regions or tasks. Their duties could range from collecting taxes to overseeing military operations. The position required loyalty, competence, and the ability to manage people and resources effectively.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
