ElohimĚ God is among His own people; and presides especially in those courts of justice which Himself has established. "Moreover thou¹ shalt provideª° out of all¹¹ the peopleª ableª men,²¹ such as fearª God,ª men²¹ of truth,ª hatingª° covetousness;ª and placeª° [such] over¹ them, [to be] rulersª of thousands,ª [and] rulersª of hundreds,ª rulersª of fifties,ª and rulersª of tens:ª" {Exd 18:21} + "And saidª° to¹ the judges,ª° Take heedª° what¹ ye¹ do:ª° for¹ ye judgeª° not¹ for man,ª but¹ for the LORD,ª who [is] with¹ you in the judgment.ªª ... Wherefore now¹ let the fearª of the LORDª be¹ upon¹ you; take heedª° and doª° [it]: for¹ [there is] no¹ iniquityª with¹ the LORDª our God,ª nor respectª of persons,ª nor takingª of gifts.ª" {2Ch 19:6-7} + "If¹ thou seestª° the oppressionª of the poor,ª° and violent² perverting¹ of judgmentª and justiceª in a province,ª marvelª° not¹ at¹ the matter:ª for¹ [he that is] higherª than¹¹ the highestª regardeth;ª° and [there be] higherª than¹ they.²" {Ecc 5:8}
