Congregation of record
Congregations of record could also be called congregations of testimony or congregation by witness.
- "Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place [such] over them, [to be] rulers of thousands, [and] rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:" Exodus 18:21
Early Israel was a network of congregations bound only by a common purpose which did not allow people to take from others because their "rulers" "hated covetousness".[1]
Those "rulers" were called "sar"[2] in the Hebrew which is the letters Shem and Reish. It is from the verb ShemReishReish[3]
It is not the word mashal [4] which is from the letters MemShemLamed and is also translated "rule" and "ruler" and associated with dominion[5] and the power of a "Pharaoh" and "Egypt".[6]
Another word for "ruler" is nasiy’ [7] which is the letters NunShemAlef. It appears in Exodus 34:31 in refference to the "rulers of the congregation".[8]
They were also men of truth[9]
Exodus 18:25 And Moses chose[10] able men out of all Israel, and made them heads[11] over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
Deuteronomy 1:15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
