judicial verdicts
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural, absolute state; from שֶׁפֶט (shepheṭ), a nominal form of שפט. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from שפט and denotes concrete acts or results of judging; the masculine plural absolute form is preserved with the plural "verdicts." "Judicial" reflects the legal authority inherent in the root’s sense of rendering decisions. |
