¹⁰ No matter what case comes before you from your fellow citizens who live in their own cities, whether it’s a dispute between blood relatives^[a] or a dispute regarding the Law and the commands, statutes, or verdicts, you are to warn the parties^[b] so that they do not become guilty in the Lord’s presence and so that anger does not come upon you and your fellow citizens. ¹¹ Take notice, please, that Amariah the Chief Priest is presiding over all cases^[c] that pertain to the Lord, Ishmael’s son Zebadiah is presiding as ruler of the household of Judah with respect to all cases that pertain to the national government,^[d] and the descendants of Levi will preside over your other civil cases.^[e] Serve courageously, and the Lord will be with the upright.”
