Core Meaningsto judge, govern, decide, render a verdict, exercise justice
Semantic Rangejudgment, legal verdict, judicial decision, justice, ordinance, legal right, customary law, formal decree, due order
Conceptual Significanceמִשְׁפָּט expresses the exercise of justice as both legal decision and covenantal order. In the biblical worldview, it reflects not only courtroom verdicts but the righteous governance of society and the just rule of יהוה, grounding communal life in divinely aligned justice.
Morphological NotesPreposition ב ("in") prefixed to a masculine singular noun (מִשְׁפָּט), appearing in absolute or construct state (Ncmsa/Ncmsc). No article; singular in number.
Rendering RationaleThe noun מִשְׁפָּט (mishpāṭ) derives from the root שפט, "to judge" or "to render a decision." As a masculine singular noun with the prefixed preposition ב ("in"), it denotes the sphere or manner of action—"in a judicial verdict"—preserving both the legal-decisional core of the root and the singular form indicated by the morphology.
