18. “You shall appoint judges and officers in all your gates, which the Lord your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
19. You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.
20. You shall follow what is altogether just, that you may live and inherit the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
21. “You shall not plant for yourself any tree, as a wooden image, near the altar which you build for yourself to the Lord your God.
22. You shall not set up a sacred pillar, which the Lord your God hates.
