YHWH-has-judged

Rootשׁפט (š-p-ṭ)
Core Meaningsto judge, govern, render justice, decide a case
Semantic RangePersonal name meaning "YHWH has judged"; borne by several Israelite figures, most notably a king of Judah; also designates a valley associated with divine judgment.
Conceptual SignificanceThe name affirms YHWH as the ultimate judge and governor. In biblical theology, it underscores divine justice and covenant accountability, and in prophetic literature (e.g., the Valley of Jehoshaphat) it becomes a symbol of YHWH’s decisive judgment over nations.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular proper noun (HNp). A theophoric compound: יְהוֹ (short form of YHWH) + שָׁפָט (Qal perfect 3ms of שׁפט). Functions as a personal name and also as a toponym (Valley of Jehoshaphat).
Rendering RationaleThe name combines the divine name יְהוֹ (YHWH) with the verb שָׁפַט in the Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular, yielding the sense "YHWH has judged." As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering reflects a completed verbal action attributed to YHWH and preserves the theophoric and verbal structure of the Hebrew name.
