Reference: Judgement-seat
Morish
????. A place attached to the judgement-hall, where judgement was pronounced, speeches delivered, etc. It was on the ???? that Herod sat, when he made his oration. Mt 27:19; Joh 19:13; Ac 12:21; 18:12-17; 25:6-17. The floor of this place was doubtless of tesselated stones, which accounts for its being called the PAVEMENT in Joh 19:13. In the Hebrew it was called GABBATHA, which signifies elevated or raised platform. In Jas 2:6 the word is ?????????. (For the judgement-seat of Christ, see JUDGEMENT, No. 3.)
