When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.

And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.

And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
