Deuteronomy 1:16-17 And I charged your judges, at that time, saying,––Ye are to hear, between your brethren, and shall judge righteously, between each man and his brother, and his sojourner.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ And I charged your judges, at that time, saying,––Ye are to hear, between your brethren, and shall judge righteously, between each man 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.
