These individuals often held positions of authority and were responsible for administrative and judicial duties. Context: The Hebrew term שֹׁטֵר (shoter) appears in several contexts within the Old Testament, denoting individuals who held roles of authority and responsibility. In Exodus 5:6, the term is used to describe the officers of the Israelites who were under the authority of the Egyptian taskmasters.
