Deuteronomy 17:10

"You shall come to the priests who are Levites and to the judge who shall be in those days. You shall inquire, and they shall give you the verdict."

Key Reflection

In Deuteronomy 17:10, the Israelites were instructed to seek guidance from the priests and judges in matters of dispute. This practice underscored the central role of the Levitical priesthood and judicial system established by Moses. The original audience would have understood that these religious leaders served as authoritative interpreters of God's law, ensuring justice was administered according to divine standards.
