Deuteronomy 16:18-22

18JudgesH8199 and officersH7860 shalt thou makeH5414 thee in all thy gatesH8179, which Jehovah thy GodH430 giveth thee, according to thy tribesH7626; and they shall judgeH8199 the peopleH5971 with righteous judgmentH4941. 19Thou shalt not wrest justiceH4941: thou shalt not respect persons; neither shalt thou takeH3947 a bribeH7810; for a bribeH7810 doth blindH5786 the eyesH5869 of the wiseH2450, and pervert the wordsH1697 of the righteousH6662. 20That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest liveH2421, and inheritH3423 the landH776 which Jehovah thy GodH430 giveth thee.

21Thou shalt not plantH5193 thee an AsherahH842 of any kind of treeH6086 beside the altarH4196 of Jehovah thy GodH430, which thou shalt makeH6213 thee. 22Neither shalt thou setH6965 thee up a pillarH4676; which Jehovah thy GodH430 hateth.
