  • The Judges is a group of people in the Bible preceding Kings and Prophets. Every Judge is a Prophet, but not every Prophet is a Judge.
  • Biblical judges (Hebrew: shôphatîm or shoftim שופטים) were Israelite leaders during the period of the Israelite confederacy. From after the conquest of Canaan by Joshua in c. 1200 BCE until the formation of the first Kingdom of Israel in c. 1050 BCE, the Israelite Tribes formed a loose confederation. No central government existed, and in times of crisis the people were led by ad hoc leaders known as Judges. While judge is the closest literal translation of the Hebrew term used in the masoretic text, the position is more one of unelected non-hereditary leadership than that of legal pronouncement. In accordance with the needs of the time, their functions were primarily martial and judicial, comparable to a king (but not anointed).
