Deuteronomy 1:16-17

NSB(i) 16 »I charged your judges to hear the cases between your countrymen and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger with him. 17 »You will not show partiality in judgment. You shall hear the small and the great. You will not fear man for the judgment is God's. The case that is too hard for you, bring to me, and I will hear it.’
