Noun: execution; a person who executes people is an executioner. Not the same as «exempt» or «exited». ## In Jewish tradition Carried out, as in judgments brought on Egypt's gods or God's justice done by Gad's tribe. In the Prophets and Writings it also means a king carrying out justice, and a judgment carried out on a wicked king. **Interpretation.** Tradition reads the judgments on Egypt's gods as meaning the idols themselves were destroyed during the plagues. David's carrying out of "justice and righteousness" is taken as the model of a good king. ### Examples - while the Egyptians were burying them that the LORD had smitten among them, even all their first-born; upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.
