Judges in certain cultures and contexts may be seen as prophets because they have the authority to interpret and apply the law, similar to how prophets have authority to deliver messages from a higher power. Both judges and prophets are expected to provide guidance, wisdom, and insights to guide their communities in making decisions and resolving conflicts.
