Deuteronômio 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.

Deuteronômio 1:16 In-Context

14 “Vocês me disseram que essa era uma boa proposta.
15 “Então convoquei os chefes das tribos, homens sábios e experientes, e os designei para chefes de mil, de cem, de cinquenta e de dez, além de oficiais para cada tribo.
16 “Naquela ocasião ordenei aos seus juízes: Atendam as demandas de seus irmãos e julguem com justiça, não só as questões entre os seus compatriotas mas também entre um israelita e um estrangeiro.
17 Não sejam parciais no julgamento! Atendam tanto o pequeno como o grande. Não se deixem intimidar por ninguém, pois o veredicto pertence a Deus. Tragam-me os casos mais difíceis e eu os ouvirei.
18 Naquela ocasião eu ordenei a vocês tudo o que deveriam fazer.
