Exegesis
Kemishpat {כְּמִשְׁפַּט | kə-mīš-pāṭ} shows conformity to local custom.
In context — Judges 18:7
The five men departed and came to Laish. They saw the people living securely there, as in Sidon’s custom —quiet and unsuspecting; they lacked nothing that was in the land and possessed wealth. They were distant from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone.
