Deuteronomy 1:15-17

Tree of Life Version

¹⁵ So I took the heads of your tribes, men who were wise and well known, and appointed them as heads over you—leaders of thousands, leaders of hundreds, leaders of fifties, leaders of tens, and officials for your tribes.

¹⁶ “I commanded your judges at that time saying: ‘Hear cases between your brothers, and judge fairly^[a] between a man and his brother or the outsider with him. ¹⁷ You must not show partiality in judgment^[b]—you must hear the small and the great alike. Fear no man, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me and I will hear it.’
