Nehemiah and Ezra mention princes, older men, nobles, and deputy rulers  - perhaps the beginning of a future Sanhedrin.  - Ezra 10:8; Nehemiah 5:7.
Nehemia le Esera ba umaka dikgosana, banna ba bagolwane, batlotlegi le bathusi ba mmusi - gongwe e le yone tshimologo ya Sanehederine ya mo isagweng. - Esera 10:8; Nehemia 5:7.
