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

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for En Mishpat, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, related concepts of judgment and justice can be found in Greek words such as κρίσις (krisis, Strong's G2920) meaning "judgment."

Usage: En Mishpat translates to "Spring of Judgment" or "Fountain of Justice." It is a place name mentioned in the Bible, specifically in the context of a geographical location.

Cultural and Historical Background: En Mishpat is identified with Kadesh, a significant location in the biblical narrative. Kadesh, often referred to as Kadesh-barnea, was a major encampment for the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings. It served as a pivotal site for several key events, including the sending of the twelve spies into Canaan and the rebellion of the Israelites against Moses and Aaron. The name "Spring of Judgment" may reflect the judicial or decision-making events that took place there.
