Shoftim - “Judges..”
Deuteronomy 16:18 – 21:9
Moses instructs the people of Israel to appoint judges and law enforcement officers; “justice, justice shall you pursue…” Moses proclaims. Such justice must be given without corruption or favouritism but be meted out with balanced scales and without human bias. It must be carried out with righteousness, according to the character of Our Father.
Moses states that all sinful crimes are to be thoroughly investigated and all evidence must be strictly examined before action is taken — only by the account of two or three witnesses, can someone be convicted and punished.
Next, the parsha gives us the prohibitions against idolatry and sorcery; strong language is given to deter the children of Israel in following after necromancers or magicians, those who draw their knowledge from the sun, moon and stars and those who would seek to pull the children of Israel away from Adonai. The laws regarding kings are then given, with the restrictions on the glory they can give to themselves and how they are to remain as ‘one of the people’ in humility. Following this, the guidelines for the “cities of refuge” (for those who have committed manslaughter) are reaffirmed.
Finally, the rules of war and engagement are given: those who are exempt from fighting in war, the requirement to offer terms of peace before attacking a city is pronounced and the prohibition against cutting down certain trees when laying siege to enemy cities, “for man is like a tree of the field”.
