Seat

set: This word is used to translate the Hebrew words (moshabh, shebheth, kicce', and tekhunah), once (Job 23:3). It translates the Greek word (kathedra) (Matt 21:12; Matt 23:2; Mark 11:15), and "chief seat" translates the compound word (protokathedria) (Matt 23:6; Mark 12:39; Luke 20:46). In the King James Version it translates (thronos) (Luke 1:52; Rev 2:13; Rev 4:4; Rev 11:16; Rev 13:2; Rev 16:10), which the Revised Version (British and American) renders "throne." It denotes a place or thing upon which one sits, as a chair, or stool (1 Sam 20:18; Judg 3:20). It is used also of the exalted position occupied by men of marked rank or influence, either in good or evil (Matt 23:2; Ps 1:1).
