the_o judgement_n may_v be_v pass_v for_o what_o you_o can_v say_v to_o the_o contrary_a by_o the_o elder_n only_o that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o head_n or_o chief_n of_o the_o several_a family_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o israel_n and_o nothing_o but_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o sentence_n by_o they_o commit_v to_o the_o people_n second_o it_o appear_v not_o by_o the_o text_n that_o the_o war_n
