Gen. xiv. 7. עין משפט Fons judicii.EN-MISHPAT. Moses says, that the Kings Chedorlaomer, Amraphel, and the rest, having traversed the wilderness of Paran, came to the Fountain of Mishpat, otherwise called Kadesh. Mishpat in this place is written differently from Mizphat, which is taken notice of in its place, and signifies Judgment. It had not this name till Moses drew from it the waters which were called Numb. xx. 13. xxvii. 14, &c.the Waters of Strife, and till God had exercised his Judgment against Moses and Aaron, who had not glorified him before the people as they ought to have done.
