Quote:Women have played extremely important roles in Scripture. There was a woman judge (Deborah), who was at that time the most powerful person in Israel. There was Huldah the prophetess to whom Hilkiah the priest went, and who prophecied in the time of King Josiah.

Quote:Where did you get the word 'paqid'?
Closest Hebrew title that I could find to the Greek episkopos.
Quote:Do you insist that this is the correct term?
No. The Aramaic equivalent would be most correct, or even the literal meaning of "Overseer".
