Deuteronomy 17:8-10

International Children’s Bible

Courts of Law

⁸ Some cases that come before you may be too difficult to judge. It may be a case of murder, quarreling or attack. Take these cases to the place the Lord your God will choose. ⁹ Go to the priests who are Levites. And go to the judge who is on duty at that time. Ask them about the case, and they will decide. ¹⁰ You must follow the decision they give you. They will be at the place the Lord your God will choose. Be careful to do everything they tell you.
