Deuteronomy 16:18-20 - Appointing Judges And Officials
18 Judges and officers thou shalt make thee in all thy cities, which the LORD thy God giveth thee throughout thy tribes: And let them judge the people righteously. 19 Wrest not the law, nor know any person, neither take any reward: for gifts blind the wise and pervert the words of the righteous. 20 But in all things follow righteousness, that thou mayest live and enjoy the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
