*
So I took the heads of your tribes ,
wise and knowledgeable men ,
and made them heads over you ,
leaders of thousands ,
leaders of hundreds ,
leaders of fifties ,
leaders of tens ,
and officers for your tribes .
* "
Then I commanded your judges at that time ,
saying , "
Hear the cases between your brethren ,
and judge righteously between a man and his brother or the stranger who is with him .
*
You shall not show partiality in judgment ;
you shall hear the small as well as the great ;
you shall not be afraid in any man '
s presence ,
for the judgment is God '
s .
The case that is too hard for you ,
bring to me ,
and I will hear it .'
