Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 16:19

Not respect persons, i.e. not give sentence according to the quality of the person, his riches or poverty, friendship or enmity, but according to the justice of the cause.

The words, i.e. the sentence, of those... read more

We have rehearsed these as we went through earlier in the book of Exodus and all.

Deu 16:19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous. Ver. 19. Neither take a gift. ] Rain is good, and ground is good; yet, ex eorum coniunctione fit luturn, by the mixture of those two is made dirt: so giving is kind, and taking is courteous; yet the mixing of them makes the smooth paths of justice foul and uneven. read more
