Tirshatha. (always written with the article). The title of the governor of Judea, under the Persians, perhaps derived from a Persian root signifying, stern, severe, and it is added as a title, after the name of Nehemiah, Nehemiah 8:9; Nehemiah 10:1 and occurs also, in three other places. In the margin of the Authorized Version, Ezra 2:63; Nehemiah 7:65; Nehemiah 10:1, it is rendered as "governor".
