governor <08660> [Tirshatha. or, governor.]

The person who held this office at this time was probably Zerubbabel. The word {Tirshatha} is supposed to be Persian; and if, as Castel supposes, it signifies austerity, or that fear which is impressed by the authority of a governor, it may be derived from {tars,} "ear," or {tursh,} "acid, austere."

eat <0398> [should not.]

Urim <0224> [Urim.]
