- the ancients of the people:
- "Then rose upª° certain²¹ of the eldersª¹ of the land,ª and spakeª° to¹ all¹ the assemblyª of the people,ª saying,ª°" {Jer 26:17} + "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Moses,ª Gatherª° unto me seventyª menª of the eldersª¹ of Israel,ª whom¹ thou knowestª° to be the eldersª of the people,ª and officersª° over them; and bringª° them unto¹ the tabernacleª of the congregation,ª that they may standª° there¹ with¹ thee." {Num 11:16} + "And there were moreª chiefª menª foundª° of the sonsª of Eleazarª than¹ of the sonsª of Ithamar;ª and [thus] were they divided.ª° Among the sonsª of Eleazarª [there were] sixteenªª chief menª of the houseª of [their] fathers,ª and eightª among the sonsª of Ithamarª according to the houseª of their fathers.ª ... And Shemaiahª the sonª of Nethaneelª the scribe,ª° [one] of¹ the Levites,²¹ wroteª° them beforeª the king,ª and the princes,ª and Zadokª the priest,ª and Ahimelechª the sonª of Abiathar,ª and [before] the chiefª of the fathersª of the priestsª and Levites:ª oneª principalª householdª being takenª° for Eleazar,ª and [one] takenª° for Ithamar.ª" {1Ch 24:4-6} + "And there stoodª° beforeª them seventyª menª of the ancientsª¹ of the houseª of Israel,ª and in the midstª of them stoodª° Jaazaniahª the sonª of Shaphan,ª with every manª his censerª in his hand;ª and a thickª cloudª of incenseª went up.ª° ... Then saidª° he unto¹ me, Sonª of man,ª hast thou seenª° what¹ the ancientsª of the houseª of Israelª doª° in the dark,ª every manª in the chambersª of his imagery?ª for¹ they say,ª° The LORDª seethª° us not;¹ the LORDª hath forsakenª°¹ the earth.ª" {Ezk 8:11-12} + "Slayª° utterlyª oldª [and] young,ª both maids,ª and little children,ª and women:ª but come not nearª°¹¹ any¹ manª upon¹ whom¹ [is] the mark;ª and beginª° at my sanctuary.ª¹ Then they beganª° at the ancientª men²¹ which¹ [were] beforeª the house.ª" {Ezk 9:6} + "Thenª assembled togetherª° the¹ chief priests,ª andª the¹ scribes,ª andª the¹ eldersª of the¹ people,ª untoª the¹ palaceª of the¹ high priest,ª who² was calledª° Caiaphas,ª" {Mtt 26:3} + "Whenª the morningª was come,ª° allª the¹ chief priestsª andª eldersª of the¹ peopleª tookª° counselª againstª Jesusª toª put²° him² to death:ª°¹" {Mtt 27:1} + "ª Likewiseª alsoª the¹ chief priestsª mockingª° [him], withª the¹ scribesª andª elders,ª said,ª° ...
