Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent of the Hebrew פֶקִיד is found in Strong's Greek Number G1988, ἐπιστάτης (epistates), which also means an overseer or superintendent. This term is used in the New Testament to describe someone who has authority or control over others, often in a supervisory capacity.

Usage: The term פֶקִיד appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe individuals who are appointed to oversee or manage certain tasks or groups of people. It is used in contexts where leadership, supervision, or administrative duties are required.

Context: • The term פֶקִיד is used in the Old Testament to refer to individuals who are appointed to positions of oversight or management. This can include roles such as officers, overseers, or stewards. The responsibilities of a פֶקִיד often involve ensuring that tasks are completed efficiently and that those under their supervision are fulfilling their duties.
• In the context of ancient Israel, a פֶקִיד might be responsible for overseeing military, civil, or religious duties. The role could be temporary or permanent, depending on the needs of the community or the specific task at hand.
• The concept of oversight and accountability is central to the role of a פֶקִיד, reflecting the broader biblical theme of stewardship and responsibility. This aligns with the biblical understanding of leadership as service and accountability before God and the community.
• An example of the use of פֶקִיד can be found in 2 Kings 25:19, where it refers to an officer in the service of the king.
