righteously

In Jewish tradition

In the Torah it describes how judges must decide cases, treating everyone alike, including the stranger.

Interpretation. The rabbis said a judge must not favour the rich or the poor. Justice is a main duty of the community. In the primary lessons: how a good ruler or hero acts in a tale; the kind king who rules fairly and does good deeds
