SIBI-P1 `H8196-01`

a judgment

Root	שפט (š-p-ṭ)
Core Meanings	to judge, govern, decide, render justice, pronounce sentence
Semantic Range	judgment, judicial sentence, legal decision, act of judging, punishment resulting from a verdict
Conceptual Significance	In the biblical context, שפט language frames both human legal activity and YHWH’s righteous governance. A "judgment" can signify not only a court ruling but also divine justice enacted in history, underscoring the covenantal expectation of righteousness and accountability.
Morphological Notes	Masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa) from שְׁפוֹט/שְׁפוּט, derived from the verbal root שפט. Related surface forms in the data also reflect Qal imperative 2ms and infinitive construct forms of the same root.
Rendering Rationale	The noun derives from the root שפט, "to judge, render justice." The form represented in the lexeme (masculine singular absolute) denotes a single judicial decision or sentence; therefore "a judgment" preserves both the core judicial sense of the root and the singular masculine form indicated by the morphology.
