Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of Persian originCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the name Teresh, as it is a specific proper noun found in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament. Usage: Teresh is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Teresh is one of the two eunuchs mentioned in the Book of Esther, specifically in Esther 2:21 and Esther 6:2. He served as a royal official in the court of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I) of Persia. Teresh, along with another eunuch named Bigthan, conspired to assassinate King Ahasuerus. Their plot, however, was discovered by Mordecai, a Jew who was sitting at the king's gate. Mordecai's report of the conspiracy was relayed to the king through Queen Esther, leading to the execution of Teresh and Bigthan. This event is significant in the narrative of Esther as it sets the stage for Mordecai's rise to prominence and the eventual deliverance of the Jewish people from Haman's plot.
