SENATE is the tr. [Note: translate or translation.] of Gr. gerousia in Acts 5:21 , where ‘all the senate of the children of Israel’ is intended to explain the preceding ‘ council ’ ( synedrion ). See Sanhedrin. It is the Jewish ‘senate’ that is meant likewise in Malachi 1:10 Malachi 1:10; 2Ma 4:44 . The Roman senate is alluded to in 1Ma 8:17 ff.
