1. council, Sanhedrin — The Jewish governing council or judicial assembly, most often referring to the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem but also to local councils with judicial authority. Singular and plural forms reflect the same institution. Spanish 'sanedrín/sanedrines' directly transliterates the term; Hindi 'महासभा' (great assembly) captures the authoritative collective nature; Arabic 'المَجْمَعِ/مَجَالِسَ' (assembly/councils) and 'مَجْلِسِ' (council session) emphasize the deliberative function; Korean '공회/공의회' (public council) highlights the official judicial character; Swahili 'baraza/mabaraza' (council/councils) and 'Sanhedrin' show both indigenous and borrowed terminology. The Arabic distinction between 'مَجْمَع' and 'مَجْلِس' suggests both gathering and seated-deliberation nuances. 22×
