However, Greek terms related to governance and counsel, such as "βουλή" (boulē - G1012, meaning "counsel" or "plan"), may serve a similar function in the New Testament context. Usage: The term "adargazar" refers to a high-ranking official or counselor, often associated with the Persian court. It denotes a person who holds a position of authority and provides counsel or advice, particularly in matters of governance or administration. Cultural and Historical Background: The word "adargazar" is of Persian origin, reflecting the influence of the Persian Empire on the Jewish people during the time of the Babylonian exile and subsequent Persian rule. The Persian Empire was known for its complex administrative system, which included various officials and counselors who played crucial roles in governance. The use of this term in the Hebrew Bible highlights the integration of Persian administrative titles into the Jewish context during this period.
