Book of Judges
The
Book of Judges (
Hebrew:
Sefer Shoftim ספר שופטים) is the seventh book of the
Hebrew Bible and the Christian
Bible. Its title describes its contents: it contains the history of
Biblical judges, divinely inspired leaders whose direct knowledge of
Yahweh allows them to act as champions for the
Israelites from oppression by foreign rulers, and models of wise and faithful behaviour required of them by their God Yahweh following the
exodus from Egypt and the
conquest of Canaan. The stories follow a consistent pattern: the people are unfaithful to Yahweh and he therefore delivers them into the hands of their enemies; the people repent and entreat Yahweh for mercy, which he sends in the form of a leader or champion (a "judge"); the judge delivers the Israelites from oppression and they prosper, but soon they fall again into unfaithfulness and the cycle is repeated. Scholars consider many of the stories in
Judges to be the oldest in the
Deuteronomistic history with their major redaction dated to the 8th century BCE and with materials (such as the
Song of Deborah) dating from much earlier, perhaps close to the period the book depicts.
