Deuteronomio 1:16 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 1:16

And I charged your judges at that time
When they were appointed and constituted, even the heads and rulers before spoken of; this charge is also new, and not recorded before:

saying, hear the causes between your brethren;
hear both sides, and all that each of them have to say; not suffer one to say all he has to say, and oblige the other to cut his words short, as the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it; but give them leave and time to tell their case, and give the best evidence they can of it:

and judge righteously;
impartially, just as the case really appears to be, and according to the evidence given:

between every man and his brother;
between an Israelite and an Israelite:

and the stranger that is with him;
between an Israelite and proselyte, whether a proselyte of the gate, or of righteousness; the same justice was to be done to them as to an Israelite.

Deuteronomio 1:16 In-Context

14 Y vosotros me respondisteis, y dijisteis: "Bueno es que se haga lo que has dicho."
15 Entonces tomé a los principales de vuestras tribus, hombres sabios y expertos, y los nombré como dirigentes vuestros, jefes de mil, de cien, de cincuenta, y de diez, y oficiales para vuestras tribus.
16 Y en aquella ocasión mandé a vuestros jueces, diciendo: "Oíd los pleitos entre vuestros hermanos, y juzgad justamente entre un hombre y su hermano o el forastero que está con él.
17 "No mostraréis parcialidad en el juicio; lo mismo oiréis al pequeño que al grande. No tendréis temor del hombre, porque el juicio es de Dios. Y el caso que sea muy difícil para vosotros, me lo traeréis a mí, y yo lo oiré."
18 En aquella misma ocasión os mandé todas las cosas que deberíais hacer.
