Deuteronomy 1:16 in Context — Deuteronomy 1
14 Vous me répondîtes, en disant: Ce que tu proposes de faire est une bonne chose.
15 Je pris alors les chefs de vos tribus, des hommes sages et connus, et je les mis à votre tête comme chefs de mille, chefs de cent, chefs de cinquante, et chefs de dix, et comme ayant autorité dans vos tribus.
16 Je donnai, dans le même temps, cet ordre à vos juges: Écoutez vos frères, et jugez selon la justice les différends de chacun avec son frère ou avec l’étranger.
17 Vous n’aurez point égard à l’apparence des personnes dans vos jugements; vous écouterez le petit comme le grand; vous ne craindrez aucun homme, car c’est Dieu qui rend la justice. Et lorsque vous trouverez une cause trop difficile, vous la porterez devant moi, pour que je l’entende.
18 C’est ainsi que je vous prescrivis, dans ce temps-là, tout ce que vous aviez à faire.
