22Let them judgeH8199 the peopleH5971 at allH3605 timesH6256; and let it be 1that everyH3605 majorH1419 2disputeH1697 they will bringH935 to you, but everyH3605 minorH6996 3disputeH1697 they themselves will judgeH8199. So it will be easierH7043 for you, and 4they will bearH5375 the burden with you. 23IfH518 you doH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697 and GodH430 so commandsH6680 you, then you will be ableH3201 to 5endureH5975, and allH3605 6theseH2088 peopleH5971 alsoH1571 will goH935 to 7their placeH4725 in peaceH7965.”
