and judgment

Rootשׁפט (š-p-ṭ)
Core Meaningsto judge, govern, render a verdict, decide a case, administer justice
Semantic Rangejudgment, legal decision, verdict, ordinance, legal right, justice, customary rule, formal decree, legal case, due order
Conceptual Significanceמִשְׁפָּט is central to Israel’s covenant life, expressing both divine justice and the ordered legal standards by which the community lives. It reflects YHWH’s role as supreme Judge and establishes the ethical and judicial framework that sustains righteousness and communal faithfulness.
Morphological NotesConjunction וּ ("and") + masculine singular noun מִשְׁפָּט in the absolute state (Ncmsa; one occurrence in construct Ncmsc). No pronominal suffix. Derived noun (miqtal pattern) from root שׁפט.
Rendering RationaleThe noun מִשְׁפָּט derives from the root שׁפט, "to judge" or "render a verdict," and denotes the act or result of judicial decision-making. The form is masculine singular absolute with a prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"), so "and judgment" preserves both the singular grammatical form and the core judicial sense of the root.
