2541. Kaisar
Strong's Lexicon
Kaisar: Caesar

Original Word: Καῖσαρ
Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine
Transliteration: Kaisar
Pronunciation: KAH-ee-sar
Phonetic Spelling: (kah'-ee-sar)
Definition: Caesar
Meaning: Caesar, a surname of the gens Iulia, which became practically synonymous with the Emperor for the time being; in the Gospels it always refers to Tiberias.

Word Origin: Of Latin origin, from the title "Caesar," used by Roman emperors.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "Caesar," as it is a title specific to the Roman context. However, the concept of a ruling monarch or king can be related to Hebrew terms like מֶלֶךְ (melek), meaning "king."

Usage: The term "Kaisar" refers to the Roman emperor, a title that originated with Julius Caesar and was adopted by subsequent rulers of the Roman Empire. In the New Testament, "Kaisar" is used to denote the ruling emperor at the time of the events described.

Cultural and Historical Background: The title "Caesar" became synonymous with the Roman emperor after Julius Caesar's rise to power and subsequent assassination in 44 BC. Augustus, his adopted heir, was the first to use the title officially, and it became a standard designation for Roman emperors. The Caesars wielded immense power and were often seen as divine figures within the Roman state religion. During the New Testament period, the Roman Empire was at its height, and the emperor's influence extended across the Mediterranean world, including Judea, where Jesus and the early Christians lived.
