Rujukan Talmud untuk Ulangan 16:19: Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin & Jerusalem Talmud Peah

MISHNAH: One judges neither a tribe²⁷³According to the Halakhah, either the head of the tribe or a case in which one of the parties is a tribe. The only court of 71 members was the Supreme Court, Mishnah 6., nor a false prophet²⁷⁴Deut. 18:20., nor the High Priest²⁷⁵Accused of a crime., except by the court of 71 [judges]. One may start a war of choice²⁷⁶Any war except a defensive war started by an outside attacker. only by the court of 71 [judges]³³⁴He is known for the correctness of his historical traditions. For the political functions of a Synhedrion, an even number of members is acceptable. The judicial functions were exercised by committees of 23 each.. One may add to the City²⁷⁷The part of Jerusalem where sacrifices may legally be eaten. Cf. Mishnah Ševuot2:2. or to the Temple courtyards only by the court of 71 [judges]. One appoints high courts for the tribes²⁷⁸Required by Deut. 16:19. only by the court of 71 [judges]. One declares a town as deviant²⁷⁹A town collectively practicing idolatry, which must be destroyed, Deut.13:13–19. only by the court of 71 [judges]; one does not declare a border town as deviant, nor three together, but one may declare one or two.

MISHNAH: He who has 50 zuz and uses them for trade should not take¹³⁵Neither the agricultural gifts to the poor nor public assistance.. One who has no need to take but takes will not die of old age until he needs the creatures¹³⁶I. e., people.. One who has need to take but does not take will not die of old age until he can provide for others from what is his; for him is was said (Jer. 17:7): “Blessed be the man who will be confident in the Eternal, the Eternal will be his trust.” The same applies to a judge who delivers strictly true judgment¹³⁷While compromise is usually preferred, he who negotiates a compromise does not have the same responsibility as one who has to deliver unassailable true judgment.. But one who is neither lame nor blind nor limping and presents himself as such will not die from old age until he will be one of them, as it is said (Deut. 16:20): “Justice, justice you shall pursue.” But every judge who takes bribes and bends the law will not die from old age until his eyes are dimmed, as it is said (Ex. 23:8): “Do not take bribes, for bribes blind the eyes of the seeing.”¹³⁸The blinding of the seeing can also be applied to welfare fraud, as it was stated in Halakhah 6 that certifying eligibility for welfare is a judicial task.
In the most trustworthy Mishnah manuscripts, the text after the quote from Jeremiah is missing. In others, only the reference to honest and dishonest judges is added. It is clear from the disconnected text that the insertion about simulants is the last. Since these additions are not discussed in the Halakhah, it seems that they are late additions to emphasize the end of the tractate (probably being added by the compilers of the Yerushalmi.)
