scribe, marshal, military officer (Assyrian loan-word)
This term, borrowed from Assyrian dupšarru (tablet-writer), designates high military officials with scribal skills. In Jeremiah 51:27, God commands to appoint a marshal against Babylon, suggesting a military coordinator or chief-of-staff. Nahum 3:17 describes Nineveh's marshals who flee like locusts, listing them among military and administrative elites. The Assyrian background points to officers skilled in writing who managed military logistics and record-keeping, combining administrative and martial functions. These were not mere clerks but high-ranking officials essential to ancient Near Eastern military operations.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Both occurrences appear in oracles against Mesopotamian powers, reflecting the term's Assyrian origin. Jeremiah 51:27 commands appointing a tipsar against Babylon, suggesting a military marshal or coordinator who would organize the attack. Nahum 3:17 lists Nineveh's marshals (tapsarayk, plural with suffix) among the city's officials who abandon her in crisis, camping like locusts then flying away. The Assyrian loan-word dupšarru/dupsarru (tablet-writer, scribe) indicates these were literate military administrators, essential for organizing campaigns and managing supplies. Spanish comandante/oficiales captures the military officer dimension. 2×
