A word probably of Persian origin, meaning "severity," denoting a high civil dignity. The Persian governor of Judea is so called (Ezra 2:63; Nehemiah 7:65,70 ). Nehemiah is called by this name in Nehemiah 8:9; 10:1 , and the "governor" (pehah) in 5:18. Probably, therefore, tirshatha=pehah=the modern pasha.
