17 Every man is to give as he is able, in the measure of the blessing which the Lord your God has given you.
18 You are to make judges and overseers in all your towns which the Lord your God gives you, for every tribe: and they are to be upright men, judging the people in righteousness.
19 You are not to be moved in your judging by a man's position, you are not to take rewards; for rewards make the eyes of the wise man blind, and the decisions of the upright false.
20 Let righteousness be your guide, so that you may have life, and take for your heritage the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
21 Let no holy tree of any sort be planted by the altar of the Lord your God which you will make.
