The organized Hebrew judiciary Sanhedrin (councils of elders) is inspired & taken directly from the Greek 'Synhedrion' which means 'sitting together'. So much borrowing so little time & all this after the Hellenes influx in after Alexander. This is when you really start to see the stories cobble together.

Synhedrion
en.wikipedia.org

Synedrion was adopted by Hellenistic Jews and corrupted into Aramaic as sanhedrin, actually in full sanhedrin (gedola) "(great) council" in Late Hebrew. It was further corrupted to sanhedrim as a false correction when the Greek word was taken into Mishnaic Hebrew, where -in is a form of the plural suffix of which -im is the more exact form), for the high council of the Jewish nation after its state had been reduced by the Roman empire to vassalitic puppet states under tetrarchs, see Iudaea province, but was itself abolished in 70 AD after Titus' destruction of Jerusalem and reconvened in Yavne.
