A precept of justice in the law of Moses: Do not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits. Exodus 23:6

The law of Moses is not only the Decalogue, because the law of Moses, in addition to including the ten commandments, also includes norms or precepts to avoid human cruelty and improve the daily order of society.
And among these precepts, Moses gave some specifically referring to the administration of justice. Moses reminded the children of Israel that justice is a very important virtue, because justice is between equals, giving and receiving proportionally, without justice a society falls into anarchy and social disorder.
With these words, Moses reminded to the Israelites that justice is avoiding favoritism, rigor, and oppression:
"Do not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits. Have nothing to do with a false charge and do not put an innocent or honest person to death, for I will not acquit the guilty.
Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the innocent.
Do not oppress a foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt" Exodus 23:6-9.
And justice was in practical terms so important to Israel that the Aristocracy of judges, created by the prophet Moses following the advice of his father-in-law Jethro, became the first government of the Israelites upon settling on holy ground. The judges were chosen according to what the Book of Exodus relates, among the most honest, upright, and God-fearing Israelites: "He chose capable men from all Israel and made them leaders of the people, officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. They served as judges for the people at all times. The difficult cases they brought to Moses, but the simple ones they decided themselves" Exodus 18:25-26.
