Shofet Kol HaAretz — Judge of All the Earth

שֹׁפֵט כָּל הָאָרֶץ

Shofet Kol HaAretz — pronounced sho-FATE kol ha-AH-rets · appears 1 (the full title) times · Strong's H8199

The Judge of all the earth — named by Abraham while arguing with God over Sodom.

Born inside a negotiation — Abraham appeals to God's own character against the verdict, and God welcomes the argument. Both traditions learn from this that divine justice invites intercession rather than silencing it.

Gen 18:25 — 'Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?'

Key passages

Ps 94:2 — 'Rise up, Judge of the earth'
