treasurers (Aramaic plural, Persian loanword)
The Aramaic plural of the Persian loanword for 'treasurer' appears in Ezra 7:21, where Artaxerxes commands 'all the treasurers in the province Beyond the River' to supply Ezra's needs. The emphatic plural ending marks this as Biblical Aramaic rather than Hebrew. The Persian administrative context is crucial: multiple regional treasurers managed the vast empire's finances across satrapies. This verse illustrates the Persian government's support for Ezra's mission, providing official backing and financial resources for Jerusalem's temple and Torah community.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Regional treasury officials in the Persian administration (Ezra 7:21), plural form commanding multiple treasurers across Trans-Euphrates province. English 'treasurers' and Spanish 'tesoreros' render the plural, while French and German preserve the Aramaic form with its distinctive emphatic plural ending. The administrative context shows the Persian system's bureaucratic sophistication, with specialized financial officers throughout the provinces answerable to royal directives. 1×
