Deuteronomy 1:17

Historical Prologue

¹⁶ And I charged your judges, at that time, saying, - Ye are to hear between your brethren and shall judge righteously, between each magi and his brother and his sojourner. ¹⁷ Ye shall not take note of faces in judgment - so the small as the great, shall ye hear, ye shall not shrink from the face of any man, for judgment, unto God, belongeth, - but the thing which is too hard for you, shall ye bring near unto me, and I will hear it. ¹⁸ So I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
