Deuteronomy 16:18

Appointing Judges And Officials

¹⁷ Every man shall give as he is able, in accordance with the blessing which the Lord your God has given you. ¹⁸ “You shall appoint judges and officers in all your cities (gates) which the Lord your God is giving you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment. ¹⁹ You shall not distort justice; you shall not be partial, and you shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.
