SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:16
Y entonces mandé a vuestros jueces, diciendo: Oíd entre vuestros hermanos, y juzgad justamente entre el hombre y su hermano, y el que le es extranjero.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. And I charged your judges at that time , etc.] When they were appointed and constituted, even the heads and rulers before spoken of; this charge is also new, and not recorded before: saying, hear the causes between your brethren ; hear both sides, and all that each of them have to say; not suffer one to say all he has to say, and oblige the other to cut his words short, as the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it; but give them leave and time to tell their case, and give the best evidence they can of it: and judge righteously ; impartially, just as the case really appears to be, and according to the evidence given: between every man and his brother ; between an Israelite and an Israelite: and the stranger that is with him ; between an Israelite and proselyte, whether a proselyte of the gate, or of righteousness; the same justice was to be done to them as to an Israelite.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-18 - Moses reminds the people of the happy constitution of their government which might make them all safe and easy, if it was not their own fault He owns the fulfilment of God's promise to Abraham, and prays for the further accomplishment of it. We are not straitened in the power an goodness of God; why should we be straitened in our own faith and hope Good laws were given to the Israelites, and good men were to see to the execution of them, which showed God's goodness to them, and the care of Moses.
