Verse 13 is found in chapter 1 of Deuteronomy. Moses recalls how leaders and judges were appointed to help him govern the people. The judicial organization responds to the need to administer justice in an orderly manner and distribute responsibilities. The text insists that judges must listen to both the small and the great without showing partiality, because judgment ultimately belongs to God.

Schafft her weise, verständige und erfahrene Leute unter euren Stämmen, die will ich über euch zu Häuptern setzen.
Dad me de entre vosotros, de vuestras tribus, varones sabios y entendidos y expertos, para que yo los ponga por vuestros jefes.
Prenez dans vos tribus des hommes sages, intelligents et connus, et je les mettrai à votre tête.
Datemi d’infra le vostre tribù degli uomini savi, e intendenti, e ben riconosciuti, e io ve li costituirò per Capi.
Tomai-vos homens sábios e entendidos, experimentados entre as vossas tribos, para que os ponha por chefes sobre vós.
你們要按著各支派選出有智慧、明辨是非、為人所知的人來,我就立他們為你們的領袖。』
