Definition: The word "artillerist" in the Bible refers to an officer, often a soldier or captain, who leads, commands, or supervises troops on maneuvers, battles, sieges, or operations. The term is from the Hebrew word "artil" which means 'to shoot' and 'ser," meaning to hold or keep something steady, as in "holding together." Artillerists are typically responsible for directing artillery fire and ensuring that it is fired at precisely the right target.
