16Also at that time I gave these instructions to your judges: “Hear the cases that your people bring. Judge each case fairly, no matter whether it is ⌞a dispute⌟ between two Israelites or ⌞a dispute⌟ between an Israelite and a non-Israelite. 17Be impartial in your decisions.

You may bring me any case that’s too hard for you, and I will hear it.” So I told you how to handle these situations. 19So we left Mount Horeb, as the Lord our God had commanded. We traveled through all that vast and dangerous desert you saw on the way to the mountain region of the Amorites. At last we came to Kadesh Barnea. 20Then I said to you, “We have come to the mountain region of the Amorites, which the Lord our God is giving us.
