Shaphat. Here is the word, “Shaphat”, before giving the meaning of this old Hebrew word, let us consider what another linguist, Olivier Derain, Biblical Institute, have said on this same word. He said that the word “shaphat” is the origin of the word “judge”. That in ancient Israel the word “shaphat” designated someone who rendered justice in the society; but that the meaning of the word shaphat is more than a judge, more than the judiciary, more than the laws, that the word also designates someone being a chief of war, “a king” in our language.Now we know that in ancient time a warrior king was also the ruler of the tribe; for all great kings were primarily also warriors. Example,Moshe,Johsuah, Thuthmosis… we in Cameroun Africa still speaking the old language say that the definition of shaphat given by Olivier is right. But here are the details of the word, syllables by syllables, to further help Olivier and other linguists, and bible lovers in the knowledge. In shaphat the sound “sha” in our language means “laws”, also means “ a hat, casquet, title”, we know that ajudge acts with laws, and that it is his casquet, his title in the society; now the sound “phat” correctly pronounced “ pho, phu, or Phe” means “king, chief”. So in ancient time a judge was also a king, a ruler; for it is only a person that has a statue of a king in our Hebrew tribe that usually has the strength to apply successfully the laws among a tribe of people so hard, so difficult to persuade. Hope this little details in the morphology of the word “shaphat” helps you. N.B. the word “Shariah” used by the Muslims is actually an old Hebrew word, for the word means in our old Hebrew language “Laws”.Notes. In my investigation, the people of my tribe said that all the ancient customs contains in the Shariah that the Muslims conservator practice today, were practiced by them in Cameroon as their traditional customs, not religious; that they had to stop practicing them in the year sixties, during the colonization, for the white men colonizer made them to stop.
