A place-name meaning 'spring (or fountain) of judgment,' referring specifically to a location in the Negev region noted in biblical narratives as a site associated with legal or administrative activity. In the biblical context, 'En Mishpat' is equivalent to the later-known site of Kadesh (Kadesh-Barnea), situated on the southern border of the land settled by the Israelites. The phrase designates both the physical spring and the judicial or communal gatherings historically linked to that site.
