Devarim 5782

This is Torah Talk for the week of July 31st, 2022

Deut. 1:17    You shall not be partial in judgment: hear out low and high alike. Fear no man, for judgment is God’s [כִּ֥י הַמִּשְׁפָּ֖ט לֵאלֹהִ֣ים ה֑וּא].

The words are simple, in English and in Hebrew – “judgment is God’s” – until you stop and ask yourself:  What exactly do they mean?

    Michael,

    Concerning Jehoshaphat and his words in 2 Chronicles 19:6, כִּי לֹא לְאָדָם תִּשְׁפְּטוּ, כִּי לַיהוָה; וְעִמָּכֶם, בִּדְבַר מִשְׁפָּט, it is a brilliant turn of phrase considering that its source is יְהוֹשָׁפָט.

    Professor, I have been trying to figure out why in Deuteronomy 1:1 we have דִּבֶּ֤ר with segol but in some other places in Torah have דִּבֵּֽר with a Tsere. Are they both forms of Piel Perfect? I appreciate any insight.

      Well, it is the same vowel – just a bit shorter in one case than the other. I imagine the context and accents will show you why it’s sometimes longer and sometimes shorter.
