Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.

Judges 11.27

The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

Psalm 7.8

The Divine Name of God, The Lord the Judge, occurs only in the Book of Judges. A similiar phenomenon is seen in the chapter sequence of the Psalms, where the first occurrence of the word judge appears in Psalm 7. The integration is incredible. Variations on the word "judge" occur four times in the seventh Psalm, in perfect harmony with the order of the Canon. Here are the relevant passages:

Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded. ... The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

The phrase translated as judge me, O LORD is:

(Shophatni YHVH)

This is very closely related to the name of God given only in the Book of Judges:

(YHVH HaShophet, The Lord The Judge)

Both phrases use the same root as the name of the Seventh Book:

(Shophatim, Judges)

The Psalm continues, and now turns to the literal meaning of the name of the Seventh Letter, Weapon [vss. 12-13]:

If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

Insight from the Gematria Reference

The numerical weight of the Divine Name The Lord the Judge revealed in Book 7 also integrates with the Number 7:

The Lord The Judge

YHVH HaShophet

= 420 = 7 x 60

The Number 60 is the value of the word (Bohen) which is variously translated as try, prove, examine, tempt, or trial. This word first appears in the Psalms in verse 9 of Psalm 7 (quoted above) translated as trieth. We have, therefore, an integrated alphanumeric relation based soley on content from Spoke 7:

The Lord The Judge

YHVH HaShophet

= 420 = 7 x Trial/Examination

Recalling the meaning of the Number 7 as Perfection, wraps up the meaning of these relationships:

The Lord The Judge = The Perfect (7) x Trial/Examination (60)

Truly there is no end to the wonders of the Word of God! Praise his holy name!
