Eunuchs were males deprived of testes or external genitals and then the title of a specific government office (Gen. 37:36 and 39:1 refer to a married man), so that any specific usage can refer to one or both definitions. Eunuchs were excluded from serving as priests (Lev. 21:20) and from membership in the congregation of Israel (Deut. 23:1). Eunuchs were regarded as especially trustworthy in the Ancient Near East and thus were frequently employed in royal service. The Greek term translated eunuch is literally one in charge of a bed, a reference to the practice of using eunuchs as keepers of harems (Esther 2:3,6,15).
