Deuteronomy 1:15-17

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁵ “So I took the chief of your tribes, wise and known men, and made them rulers over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifty, and captains over ten, and officers among your tribes.

¹⁶ “And I charged your Judges at that same time, saying, ‘Hear the controversies between your brothers and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.

¹⁷ ‘You shall have no respect of person in judgment, but shall hear the small as well as the great. You shall not fear the face of man, for the judgment is God’s. And the case that is too hard for you, bring to me, and I will hear it.’
