Definition: "Presdept" in the Bible refers to a high-ranking officer or priest who serves as overseer, steward, and administrator for an institution (usually an apostolic mission). The term appears in 1 Samuel 7:23 where David appoints Abiathar, who is known as "presdeputy," to serve in his place after Saul's death. The exact context and details of the role can vary based on different versions of the Hebrew text but generally refers to a senior officer responsible for overseeing religious or spiritual matters.
