In the context of the Old Testament, it often refers to God's judgment or the role of leaders and judges in Israel who were responsible for maintaining justice and righteousness among the people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of judgment was central to maintaining the covenant relationship between God and His people.
