In the context of the ancient Near East, a scribe was not only a writer but often a person of considerable influence, involved in administration and governance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern societies, scribes were essential for the administration of kingdoms and empires. They were responsible for recording events, managing correspondence, and maintaining legal and economic records. The role of a scribe was highly respected, as literacy was not widespread, and their skills were crucial for the functioning of the state. The term "tiphsar" reflects this important societal role, often associated with governance and military administration.<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 scribe, marshal<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>marshal (1), marshals (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">טִפְסָר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>scribe, marshal</b></font> (if meaning correct, then Assyrian loan-word, from <em>dupsarru, tablet-writer, scribe</em>, see Len<sup>Langue Primit. de la Chaldeve, 365</sup> Schr<sup>COT</sup> on <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/51-27.htm">Jeremiah 51:27</a>, Lotz<sup>TP 180</sup>;
