years Elder a name frequently used in the Old Testament as denoting a person clothed with authority ,
and entitled to respect and reverence (
Gen .
50 :
7 ).
It also denoted a political office (
Num .
22 :
7 ).
The "
elders of Israel "
held a rank among the people indicative of authority .
Moses opened his commission to them (
Ex .
3 :
16 ).
They attended Moses on all important occasions .
Seventy of them attended on him at the giving of the law (
Ex .
24 :
1 ).
Seventy also were selected from the whole number to bear with Moses the burden of the people (
Num .
11 :
16 ,
17 ).
The "
elder "
is the keystone of the social and political fabric wherever the patriarchal system exists .
At the present day this is the case among the Arabs ,
where the sheik (
i .
e ., "
the old man ")
is the highest authority in the tribe .
The body of the "
elders "
of Israel were the representatives of the people from the very first ,
and were recognized as such by Moses .
All down through the history of the Jews we find mention made of the elders as exercising authority among the people .
They appear as governors (
Deut .
31 :
28 ),
as local magistrates (
16 :
18 ),
administering justice (
19 :
12 ).
They were men of extensive influence (
1 Sam .
30 :
26 -
31 ).
In New Testament times they also appear taking an active part in public affairs (
Matt .
16 :
21 ;
21 :
23 ;
26 :
59 ).
The Jewish eldership was transferred from the old dispensation to the new . "
The creation of the office of elder is nowhere recorded in the New Testament ,
as in the case of deacons and apostles ,
because the latter offices were created to meet new and special emergencies ,
while the former was transmitted from the earlies times .
In other words ,
the office of elder was the only permanent essential office of the church under either dispensation ."
The "
elders "
of the New Testament church were the "
pastors "
(
Eph .
4 :
11 ), "
bishops or overseers " (
Acts 20 :
28 ), "
leaders "
and "
rulers " (
Heb .
13 :
7 ;
1 Thess .
5 :
12 )
of the flock .
Everywhere in the New Testament bishop and presbyter are titles given to one and the same officer of the Christian church .
He who is called presbyter or elder on account of his age or gravity is also called bishop or overseer with reference to the duty that lay upon him (
Titus 1 :
5 -
7 ;
Acts 20 :
17 -
28 ;
Phil .
1 :
1 ).
