 Rabbi Jose taught that the man of discernment apprehends the lower world and the upper world, his own being and the being of others.Interpreting together with Maimonides taught that judges must be on the highest level of righteousness.An effort should be made that they be white-haired, of impressive height, of dignified appearance, and people who understand whispered matters and who understand many different languages so that the court will not need to hear testimony from an interpreter.
