Strong's Lexicon shephet: Judgment, justice, decision Original Word: שֶׁפֶט Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁפַט (shaphat), meaning "to judge" or "to govern." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2920 (κρίσις, krisis): Refers to judgment, decision, or condemnation. - G2917 (κρίμα, krima): Denotes a judgment, verdict, or sentence. Usage: The Hebrew word "shephet" primarily refers to the act of judgment or the administration of justice. It encompasses the idea of making decisions, rendering verdicts, and executing justice. In the biblical context, it often relates to God's divine judgment or the role of human judges in executing justice according to God's laws. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of judgment was central to maintaining social order and covenantal faithfulness. Judges were appointed to ensure that the community adhered to God's laws, and they played a crucial role in resolving disputes and maintaining justice. The idea of divine judgment was also significant, as it underscored God's sovereignty and righteousness in dealing with His people and the nations.
