Strong's Lexicon shephot: Judgment, decision, justice Original Word: שְׁפוֹט Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁפַט (shaphat), meaning "to judge" or "to govern." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is κρίσις (krisis), Strong's Greek #2920, which also means judgment or decision. Usage: The Hebrew word "shephot" refers to the act of judgment or the process of making a decision, often in a legal or moral context. It is associated with the administration of justice and the execution of decisions by those in authority. In the biblical context, it often pertains to God's judgment or the judgments rendered by leaders and judges appointed by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of judgment was central to maintaining social order and covenantal faithfulness. Judges were appointed to resolve disputes, administer justice, and ensure that the community adhered to God's laws. The role of a judge was both legal and spiritual, as they were seen as representatives of God's justice on earth. The idea of divine judgment was also prevalent, emphasizing God's sovereignty and righteousness in dealing with humanity.
