Deuteronomy 17:8-11

People will bring their cases to your courts. But some cases will be too hard for you to judge. They might be about murders, attacks or other crimes. Then take those hard cases to the place the LORD your God will choose. Go to a priest, who is a Levite. And go to the judge who is in office at that time. Ask them for their decision. They will give it to you. They’ll hand down their decisions at the place the LORD will choose. You must do what they decide. Be careful to do everything they tell you to do. Act according to whatever they teach you. Accept the decisions they give you. Don’t turn away from what they tell you. Don’t turn to the right or the left.
