Deuteronomy 1:17

Historical Prologue

¹⁶ And I charged your judges the same time, saying, 'Hear your brethren and judge righteously between every man and his brother and the stranger that is with him. ¹⁷ See that ye know no man in judgment: but hear the small as well as the great and be afraid of no man, for the judgment is God's. And the cause that is too hard for you, bring unto me and I will hear it.' ¹⁸ And I commanded you the same season, all the things which ye should do.
