It denotes a position of trust and authority, overseeing the collection, safeguarding, and distribution of funds.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The role of a treasurer was crucial in ancient Near Eastern societies, including Israel, especially during the Persian period when the Jewish community was under foreign rule. The treasurer would have been responsible for ensuring that the temple had the necessary resources for its operations and that the financial affairs of the community were managed according to the laws and decrees of the ruling empire. This position required integrity and accountability, as it involved handling significant amounts of wealth and resources.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>treasurer<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>treasurer (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">גִּזְבָּר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>treasurer</b></font> (loan-word; Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>; compare Biblical Aramaic [<font class="hebrew2">גִּזְבָּר</font>], plural <font class="hebrew2">גִּזְבָּרַיָּא</font>; Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb015903.gif">, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb015904.gif"> also <img src="/bdbgif/bdb015905.gif">, Persian <img src="/bdbgif/bdb015906.gif">, compare Lag<sup>Ges.
