HERALD . The word occurs only in Daniel 3:4 as tr. [Note: translate or translation.] of Aram. [Note: Aramaic.] kârôz (probably = Gr. kçryx ). The herald is the mouthpiece of the king’s commands (cf. Genesis 41:43 , Esther 6:9 ). It is found also in RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] of 1 Timothy 2:7 , 2 Timothy 1:11 , 2 Peter 2:5 , of St. Paul and Noah as heralds of God. The cognate Gr. verb and noun are regularly used in NT of ‘preaching.’ ‘Crier’ occurs in Sir 20:15 . There is no instance in the Bible of the employment of ‘heralds’ in war.
C. W. Emmet.
