Exodus 18:16New English TranslationWhen they have a dispute, it comes to me and I decide between a man and his neighbor, and I make known the decrees of God and his laws.” See the chapter |
Whenever your countrymen who live in the cities bring a case before you (whether it involves a violent crime or other matters related to the law, commandments, rules, and regulations), warn them that they must not sin against the Lord. If you fail to do so, God will be angry with you and your colleagues; but if you obey, you will be free of guilt.
