Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerses 16, 17. - In installing the judges, Moses solemnly charged them to deal impartially, fairly, and equitably with those who might come before them. Verse 16. - Hear between your brethren, i.e. hear impartially both parties, and judge righteously between man and man, whether both parties are Israelites, or one of the parties a stranger.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) And I charged your judges . . . saying.--These instructions given by Moses are an admirable expansion, but only an expansion, of those of Jethro(Exodus 18:21), that the judges must be "able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness"--a sentence older than the Decalogue itself.
