Deuteronomy 1:14-16

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁴ And you answered me, The thing which you have spoken is good for us to do.

¹⁵ So I took the heads of your tribes, wise, experienced, and respected men, and made them heads over you, commanders of thousands, and hundreds, and fifties, and tens, and officers according to your tribes.

¹⁶ And I charged your judges at that time: Hear the cases between your brethren and judge righteously between a man and his brother or the stranger or sojourner who is with him.
