Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of judgment is κρίσις (krisis), Strong's Greek #2920, which also denotes judgment, decision, or a legal verdict.

Usage: The term "pelilah" refers to the act of judgment or the process of making a decision, often in a legal or judicial context. It implies a sense of fairness, discernment, and the rendering of a verdict. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe the act of making a judicial decision or the process of arbitration.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of judgment was central to maintaining justice and order within the community. Judges were appointed to hear cases and render decisions based on the Law of Moses. The role of a judge was not only to decide legal matters but also to ensure that the community adhered to God's commandments. The process of judgment was seen as a divine mandate, reflecting God's own justice and righteousness.
