In context
18Thou shalt make for thyself judges and officers in thy cities, which the Lord thy God gives thee in thy tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment:
19they shall not wrest judgment, nor favor persons, nor receive a gift; for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
— Deuteronomy 16:20 —
21Thou shalt not plant for thyself a grove; thou shalt not plant for thyself any tree near the altar of thy God.
22Thou shalt not set up for thyself a pillar, which the Lord thy God hates.
