What Original Readers Understood
ExploredThe Hebrew word "e.tser" (H6114, or Strong's number 6114) is defined as a "magistrate." This suggests that the person referred to is a high-ranking official with authority, possibly a judge or governing leader. Given its occurrence in the Bible only once, the range of usage for "e.tser" seems limited. However, its significance remains as an important term referring to a person in a position of authority. In a general context, the idea of a magistrate would imply a holder of significant power. This title could imply someone who administers justice, governs a group, or is responsible for making important decisions on behalf of others.
