15 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise and experienced men, and gave them as heads over you, leaders of thousands and [a]of hundreds, [b]of fifties and [c]of tens, and officers for your tribes.

16 “Then I commanded your judges at that time, saying, ‘Hear the cases between your brothers, and (A)judge righteously between a man and his brother or the sojourner who is with him. 17 (B)You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall (C)not fear [d]man, for the judgment is God’s. (D)The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.’
