There is no Hebrew word that specifically means "pastor".

The Hebrew word komehr (כומר) refers to any type of Christian clergy, from any religion. It can mean catholic priest, pastor, minister, parson, reverend, or vicar.

In biblical Hebrew, it refers to pagan clergymen, but it modern Hebrew, it refers to any non-Jewish clergy.
