Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עַיִן (ayin, meaning "spring" or "fountain") and מִשְׁפָּט (mishpat, meaning "judgment" or "justice").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for En-Mishpat, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, related concepts of judgment and justice can be found in Greek terms such as κρίσις (krisis, Strong's Greek 2920) for "judgment" and δικαιοσύνη (dikaiosyne, Strong's Greek 1343) for "justice" or "righteousness."

Usage: En-Mishpat is a proper noun used to refer to a specific location in the biblical narrative. It is identified with Kadesh, a significant site in the wilderness wanderings of the Israelites.

Context: En-Mishpat, also known as Kadesh, is mentioned in the context of the military campaign of Chedorlaomer and his allies in Genesis 14:7. The passage describes how these kings defeated the Amalekites and the Amorites in the region of En-Mishpat. This location is historically significant as it later becomes a key encampment for the Israelites during their wilderness journey. Kadesh, associated with En-Mishpat, is noted for its role in several pivotal events, including the sending of the twelve spies into Canaan and the rebellion of Korah. The name "Spring of Judgment" may reflect the judicial or decision-making events that occurred there, such as the judgment of Moses and Aaron for their actions at the waters of Meribah.
