PRAYING THE NAMES OF GOD:
Week #21: SHOPHET; JUDGE
Key Scripture’s : Psalm 94:15

Understanding the Name:
The Hebrew verb shapat (sha-PHAT) can be translated in a variety of ways, including “judge,” “govern,” “decide,” “defend,”and “deliver”. In the Hebrew Scriptures the word often combined the three primary functions of government–the executive, legislative, and judicial–that modern Western nations separate. That’s why leaders like Gideon, Samson, and Deborah were called judges. When we read the Hebrew noun shophet (sho-PHAT), “judge”, in the Hebrew Bible, we need to remember that it often connotes the broader meaning of “ruler.”

The prophets often chided Israel’s rulers for failing to act justly, reserving their harshest word for those who ignored the rights of aliens, the poor, the fatherless, and the widow.

When the word “judge” is used in the New Testament, it tends to mirror the meaning of the Greek culture, emphasizing judicial functions rather than overall rule. The New Testament depicts Jesus as Judge of both the living and the dead.
