YHWH has judged
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun; theophoric personal name formed from יְהֹוָה + שָׁפַט. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name is a theophoric compound of YHWH and the verb שָׁפַט in a declarative/perfect sense, expressing the statement that YHWH has executed judgment or established justice. Rendering it as "YHWH has judged" preserves both the divine name element and the verbal force of the root. |
