Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the role of a treasurer in the New Testament context can be related to terms like "οἰκονόμος" (oikonomos - Strong's Greek 3623), which refers to a steward or manager of a household or estate. Usage: The term "gizbar" refers to an official responsible for managing and overseeing financial resources, particularly in the context of the temple or royal treasury. This role involved the collection, safeguarding, and distribution of funds and valuables. Cultural and Historical Background: The role of a treasurer was crucial in ancient Near Eastern societies, including Israel, especially during the Persian period when the Jewish community was under foreign rule. The treasurer would have been responsible for ensuring that the financial affairs of the temple or the royal court were conducted with integrity and efficiency. This position required a high level of trust and accountability, as the treasurer managed resources that were vital for religious and governmental functions.
