Persian title given to Nehemiah. Nehemiah 8:9; Nehemiah 10:1 . In Ezra 2:63 , and Nehemiah 7:65,70 , the same title doubtless refers to Zerubbabel. In the margin it reads 'governor.' It is thought to be similar to the modern word Pasha. This is confirmed by the Hebrew word (pechah), used for the title of Nehemiah in Nehemiah 12:26 , and elsewhere for the Persian governors.
