The name or the official title of a butler or steward at the court of Nebuchadnezzar, Dan 1:11-16 .<\/p>\n
(Hebrews meltsar’, , prob. from the Pers. master of wine, i.e. chief butler; so Bohlen, Symbol. p. 22; others, treasurer), the title rather than the name of an officer in the Babylonian court (as in the margin, steward, but Sept. , on account of the Hebrews art., Vulg. Malasar), being that of the person who had charge of the diet of the Hebrew youths in training for promotion as magi (Dan 1:11; Dan 1:16; comp. Lengerke, Stuart, Comment. ad loc.). The melzar was subordinate to the master of the eunuchs;’ his office was to superintend the nurture and education of the young; he thus combined the duties of the Greek and , and more nearly resembles our tutor’ than any other officer. As to the origin of the term, there is some doubt; it is generally regarded as of Persian origin, the words mal cara giving the sense of head cup-bearer;’ Furst (Lex. s.v.) suggests its connection with the Hebrew nazar, to guard.’<\/p>\n
probably a Persian word meaning master of wine, i.e., chief butler; the title of an officer at the Babylonian court (Dan. 1:11<\/span>, 16<\/span>) who had charge of the diet of the Hebrew youths.<\/p>\n An official title, for the precedes Melzar in the Hebrew “The steward” or” tutor,” superintending the nurture and education of the young, subordinate to “the master of the eunuchs” (Dan 1:11; Dan 1:16); from Persian mal cara, “head cupbearer,” or nazar to guard.<\/p>\n MELZAR.A proper name (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ), or official title (RV [Note: Revised Version.] steward) in Dan 1:11; Dan 1:16,in both cases with the article. It is generally agreed that the word is a loan-word from the Assyr. [Note: Assyrian.] massaru, guardian, and stands for one who was teacher and warden of the royal wards. Cheyne, however, is led by the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] to conclude for Belshazzar as the true reading, and to read in Dan 1:11 : And Daniel said to Belshazzar, prince of the eunuchs, etc.<\/p>\n W. F. Cobb.<\/p>\n The government of the person of Daniel and his companions when captives in Babylon, (Dan 1:16) The word Melzar is of the Chaldean language, and signifies steward.<\/p>\n melzar (, ha-melcar; Septuagint , Abiesdr, Theod. , Hamelsad): Possibly a transliteration of the Babylonian Ameluucur, the officer to whom was entrusted the bringing-up of Daniel and his three companions (Dan 1:11 the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American) the steward, margin Hebrew: Hammelzar). It has been suggested that the name is not the name of a person, but denotes the office of guardian, like the Babylonian massaru. In this case the l would come by dissimulation from the first of the two s sounds, which on its side has come from an assimilated n, the root being nasaru, to protect to guard.<\/p>\n [Mel’zar]<\/p>\n One under whom Daniel and his companions were placed in Babylon. Dan 1:11-16. The Hebrew has the article, and it is supposed to be a title, as ‘the steward,’ rather than a proper name.<\/p>\n H4453<\/span> <\/p>\n The steward whom the prince of the eunuchs set over Daniel and the three Hebrew children.<\/p>\n Dan 1:11-16<\/span> <\/p>\n Melzar. (steward). The Authorized Version is wrong in regarding melzar as a proper name; it is rather an official title, Dan 1:11; Dan 1:16, the marginal reading, “the steward,” is, therefore, more correct.<\/p>\n MELZAR The name or the official title of a butler or steward at the court of Nebuchadnezzar, Dan 1:11-16 .
