I want to know who was giving instructions to the children of Israel at this particular moment concerning the appointing of judges.
Deuteronomy 16:18 - 19
NKJV - 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.
