BrLXX Κριτὰς καὶ γραμματοεισαγωγεῖς ποιήσεις σεαυτῷ ἐν ταῖς πόλεσί σου, αἷς Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου δίδωσί σοι κατὰ φυλάς· καὶ κρινοῦσι τὸν λαὸν κρίσιν δικαίαν.
(Kritas kai grammatoeisagōgeis poiaʸseis seautōi en tais polesi sou, hais Kurios ho Theos sou didōsi soi kata fulas; kai krinousi ton laon krisin dikaian. )
16:18–17:13 The community of Israel, like any political entity, needed leaders of different kinds to provide cohesion and guidance. The Lord directed Moses to establish an appropriate leadership structure. He also laid out the criteria for selecting the leaders and the responsibilities of each office.
16:18 The combination of the words judges and officials might suggest that here the two terms are functionally synonymous. Usually officials is a generic title applied to any public leader, but here it seems to refer to an administrator of law and justice or something like police officers, as in modern Hebrew.
• fairly: The idea was to measure up to an objective standard of equity that neither public nor private pressure could alter.
