The name itself does not have a specific meaning in Hebrew, as it is of Persian origin, but it is used to denote a person of significant responsibility within the royal court.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Book of Esther, where Bigtha is mentioned, is set during the reign of King Ahasuerus, who ruled over the Persian Empire from 486 to 465 BC. Eunuchs like Bigtha held important positions in the royal court, often entrusted with confidential and significant tasks. Their roles were crucial in the administration and daily operations of the palace, reflecting the hierarchical and bureaucratic nature of the Persian Empire.<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 eunuch of Ahasuerus<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Bigtha (1).<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">בִּגְתָא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (Persian compare <font class="hebrew2">אֲבַגְתָא</font>) a eunuch of Ahasuerus <a href="/interlinear/esther/1-10.htm">Esther 1:10</a>. <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>Bigtha <p>Of Persian derivation; Bigtha, a eunuch of Xerxes -- Bigtha. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בִּגְתָ֤א בגתא biḡ·ṯā bigTa biḡṯā<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/esther/1-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Esther 1:10</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/esther/1.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">בִּזְּתָ֨א חַרְבוֹנָ֜א <b> בִּגְתָ֤א </b> וַאֲבַגְתָא֙ זֵתַ֣ר</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/esther/1.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> Harbona, <span class="itali">Bigtha,</span> Abagtha,<br><a href="/kjvs/esther/1.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> Harbona, <span class="itali">Bigtha,</span> and Abagtha,<br><a href="/interlinear/esther/1-10.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Biztha Harbona <span class="itali">Bigtha</span> Abagtha Zethar<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_903.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_903.htm">Strong's Hebrew 903<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/bigta_903.htm">biḡ·ṯā — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/902.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="902"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="902" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/904.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="904"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="904" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
