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 judges and leaders in Israel who were responsible for maintaining justice and order according to God's laws.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of judgment was central to maintaining societal order and covenantal faithfulness. Judges were appointed to interpret and apply the Law of Moses, ensuring that justice was upheld in the community. The role of a judge was not only legal but also spiritual, as they were seen as representatives of God's justice on earth. The idea of divine judgment was also prevalent, with God being the ultimate judge who would hold nations and individuals accountable for their actions.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/8199.htm">shaphat</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to judge<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>magistrates (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>magistrate <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/8199.htm">shaphat</a>; to judge -- magistrate. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/8199.htm">shaphat</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>שָׁפְטִ֞ין שפטין šā·p̄ə·ṭîn šāp̄əṭîn shafeTin<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ezra/7-25.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 7:25</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/7.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">בִידָךְ֙ מֶ֣נִּי <b> שָׁפְטִ֞ין </b> וְדַיָּנִ֗ין דִּי־</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/7.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> appoint <span class="itali">magistrates</span> and judges<br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/7.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> set <span class="itali">magistrates</span> and judges,<br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/7-25.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> your hand appoint <span class="itali">magistrates</span> and judges who<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8200.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8200.htm">Strong's Hebrew 8200<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/shafetin_8200.htm">šā·p̄ə·ṭîn — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/8199.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="8199"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="8199" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/8201.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="8201"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="8201" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
