TORAH PORTION  
Shof'tim ... Judges
Deuteronomy 16:18-21:9
You shall appoint magistrates and officials for your tribes, in all the settlements that the Eternal your God is giving you, and they shall govern the people with due justice.
- Deuteronomy 16:18

SUMMARY:
  • Laws regarding both sacred and secular legislation are addressed. The Israelites are told that in every dealing they should pursue justice in order to merit the land that God is
    giving them. (16:18-18:8)
  • The people are warned to avoid sorcery and witchcraft, the abhorrent practices of their idolatrous neighbors. (18:9-22)
  • God tells them that should an Israelite unintentionally kill another, he may take sanctuary in any of three designated cities of refuge. (19:1-13)
  • Laws to be followed during times of peace and times of war are set forth. (19:14-21:9)
