The
Appointment of Judges
God
commanded His people to establish Judges within their gates, judges whose job
it was to judge the people with just judgments, that is to say justly and
fairly. More particularly, judges were
not to distort justice, not take a bribe, always judging the people with just
judgments. The judge was not to be any respecter of persons, or allow his eyes
to be blind to justice because he has taken a bribe and thereby forsake
righteousness. Every judgment must be just, said the Lord so that you may
inherit the land which I have given to you and that it may be well with you. At the same time God reminds His people, not to
set up groves to false Gods, or worship idols devoted to them, for the Lord
your God hates such things. And in the matter of the sacrifice do not sacrifice
unto the Lord your God anything that has a blemish; for any such offering would
be an abomination unto the Lord your God.
