Verse of the Day

Dabarim 16:18–20 (Deuteronomy)

You shall appoint Shaphatim and officers within all your gates that Yahuah your Alahym is giving you according to your tribes, and they shall Shaphat the people with Mishpat Tsadaq. You shall not bend Mishpat. You shall not recognize faces, and you shall not take a bribe, because a bribe blinds the eyes of the Khakamim and twists the Dabarim of the Tsadaqim. Tsadaq, Tsadaq you shall pursue, so that you may live and possess the land Yahuah your Alahym is giving you.
