Let every soul be subject to higher authorities having power, for there is no authority except from God, but the existing authorities have been ordained by God.
See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, as Jehovah my God has commanded me to do so, in the midst of the land where you are going in, to possess it,
You go near and hear all that Jehovah our God may say, and you shall speak to us all that Jehovah our God may speak to you. And we will hear it and do it.
