Deuteronomy

¹⁷every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee. ¹⁸Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, according to thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment. ¹⁹Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons: neither shalt thou take a gift; for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous. ²⁰That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. ²¹Thou shalt not plant thee an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of the Lord thy God, which thou shalt make thee. ²²Neither shalt thou set thee up a pillar; which the Lord thy God hateth.
