Tirshatha @ a word probably of Persian origin, meaning "severity," denoting a high civil dignity. The Persian governor of Judea is so called Ezra:2:63; Nehemiah:7:65-70). Nehemiah is called by this name in Nehemiah:8:9Nehemiah:10:1, and the "governor" (pehah) in 5:18. Probably, therefore, tirshatha=pehah=the modern pasha.
