Orator
        

(1) Isaiah 3:3, "the eloquent orator"; rather as Vulgate, "skilled in whispering," i.e. incantation (Psalm 58:5), lachash.
        (2) Tertullus, the Jewish accusers' advocate against Paul (Acts 24:1). Paul as a Roman citizen was tried with Roman judicial forms (Acts 25:9-10), the Roman lawyer pleading in Latin, as Norman French was formerly the language of law proceedings in England in Norman times.
