Joshua 1:10  (King James Version)
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
 


the officers of the people
The {shoterim,} or officers, were different from the {shophetim,} who were the judges among the people. The
{shoterim} have been supposed to be subordinate officers,
whose business it was to see the decisions of the {shophetim} carried into effect. Calmet conjectures, that the {shoterim} here may have been the heralds of the army. 10
