elder, community leader; old, aged person
1. elder, community leader Substantive use of זָקֵן denoting a civic or tribal leader, member of a ruling council, or community authority figure, typically in construct chains ('elders of Israel/the city') or with possessive suffixes; Arabic شُيُوخ (shuyūkh) confirms the institutional-authority sense, Korean consistently renders 장로 (jangno, presbyter/elder), and Swahili wazee in construct patterns marks communal leadership rather than mere age. 139×
