The metaphor pictures God as the judge who has reached a decision in favor of the accused, who had been brought before God’s court, so to speak, on a charge of unrighteousness.
See metafoor kujutab Jumalat kui kohtunikku, kes on langetanud otsuse sellise inimese kasuks, kes nii - öelda oli toodud Jumala kohtu ette süüdistusega patususes.
