In the biblical context, it denotes an individual appointed to adjudicate disputes, administer justice, and uphold the law. The role of a dayyan was crucial in maintaining order and righteousness within the community, as they were responsible for interpreting and applying God's laws.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, judges played a vital role in society, especially during the period of the Judges, before the establishment of the monarchy. They were seen as leaders who not only settled legal disputes but also provided guidance and delivered the people from oppression. The concept of justice was deeply rooted in the covenant relationship between God and Israel, and judges were expected to reflect God's righteousness and fairness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1777.htm">din</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a judge<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>judge (2).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">דַּיָּן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>judge</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/24-16.htm">1 Samuel 24:16</a>;
