Shophetim  
(Heb. shophet, pl. shophetim), properly a magistrate or ruler, rather than one who judges in the sense of trying a cause. This is the name given to those rulers who presided over the affairs of the Israelites during the interval between the death of Joshua and the accession of Saul ( Judges 2:18<span> ), a period of general anarchy and confusion. "The office of judges or regents was held during life, but it was not hereditary, neither could they appoint their successors. Their authority was limited by the law alone, and in doubtful cases they were directed to consult the divine King through the priest by Urim and Thummim ( </span>Numbers 27:21<span> ). Their authority extended only over those tribes by whom they had been elected or acknowledged. There was no income attached to their office, and they bore no external marks of dignity. The only cases of direct divine appointment are those of Gideon and Samson, and the latter stood in the peculiar position of having been from before his birth ordained 'to begin to deliver Israel.' Deborah was called to deliver Israel, but was already a judge. Samuel was called by the Lord to be a prophet but not a judge, which ensued from the high gifts the people recognized as dwelling in him; and as to Eli, the office of judge seems to have devolved naturally or rather ex officio upon him." Of five of the judges, Tola ( </span>Judges 10:1<span> ), Jair (3), Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon ( </span>12:8-15<span> ), we have no record at all beyond the bare fact that they were judges. Sacred history is not the history of individuals but of the kingdom of God in its onward progress.</span>

Why was it important for the americans to win the support of france during the revolution?
VikaD [51]
We had lack of supplies going into the war. So, getting support from France and other countries would help our military in the fight against Great Britain.

Also, France had more experience fighting, and therefore, help train our soldiers.
 
Americans also did not have much of a navy. So, with over 10,000 French soldiers and 30,000 French sailors, the French help was very important to our military.

When we became allies with the French, it helped our trade.

When the French helped us, it opened doors for other countries to assist us

Demand schedules are used to show how much of a product a company will produce at different costs.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

i pretty sure its true

Explanation:

i could be true because the demand schedules shows exactly how many units of a good or service will be bought at each price. Using this data, economists and industry analysts can create a demand curve. Both the curve and the schedule describe the relationship between a good's price and the quantity demanded of that good.
