Jephthah’s reference to YHWH as “Judge” will become increasingly common as we work our way through the Bible. Let’s look ahead briefly to see affirmations of this aspect of God’s character. 

Read the verses below and give your impressions of these references to God as “Judge” in your workbook:

1. But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another. Psalm 75:7 (NASB)

2. You caused judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth feared and was still. Psalm 76:8-9 (NASB)

3. Far be it from You to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal justly? Genesis 18:25 (NASB)

4. For the LORD is our judge, The LORD is our lawgiver, The LORD is our king; He will save us. Isaiah 33:22 (NASB)

5. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?  James 4:12 (NASB)
