Appoint Judges and Officials

18 Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes. Do it in every town the Lord your God is giving you. They must judge the people fairly. 19 Do what is right. Treat everyone the same.

Then you will live. You will take over the land the Lord your God is giving you.
