It’s true that I’m a relative of yours. But there’s a family protector who is more closely related to you than I am.

But suppose the man doesn’t want to marry his brother’s wife. Then she will go to the elders at the gate of the town. She will say,“ My husband’s brother refuses to keep his brother’s name alive in Israel. He won’t do for me what a brother- in- law is supposed to do.”

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.

Hate evil and love good. Do what is fair in the courts. Perhaps the Lord God who rules over all will have mercy on you. After all, you are the only ones left in the family line of Joseph.

Suppose I’ve raised my hand against children whose fathers have died. And I did it because I knew I had power in the courts.

There are people among you who hate anyone who stands for justice in court. They hate those who tell the truth.You make poor people pay tax on their straw. You also tax their grain. So, even though you have built stone houses, you won’t live in them. You have planted fruitful vineyards. But you won’t drink the wine they produce.I know how many crimes you have committed. You have sinned far too much. Among you are people who crush those who have done no wrong. They accept money from people who want special favors. They take away the rights of poor people in the courts.

“ In those days I went to the city gate. I took my seat as a member of the council.

Then his parents will take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town.

“ Come, all you who are thirsty. Come and drink the water I offer to you. You who do not have any money, come. Buy and eat the grain I give you. Come and buy wine and milk. You will not have to pay anything for it.
