Elders were of course both well known and well respected in the Jewish community as the leaders of the community itself, and later when there came to be synagogues, leaders within the synagogue. They were the guardians of the ethic of the community, and they were held responsible for maintaining good moral order and exercising good moral judgement - Suffice it to say that the notion of Christian elders owes something to Judaism.
