And he provided the first part for himself, For there was the lawgiver’s portion reserved; And he came with the heads of the people; He executed the righteousness of Jehovah, And his ordinances with Israel.

He kept for himself the first part, for his was the ruler's right: he put in force the righteousness of the Lord, and his decisions for Israel.

Και προεβλεψε δι' εαυτον την πρωτην μεριδα· διοτι εκει το μεριδιον του νομοθετου ητο διαπεφυλαγμενον· και ηλθε μετα των αρχοντων του λαου, εξεπληρωσε την δικαιοσυνην του Κυριου και τας κρισεις αυτου μετα του Ισραηλ.

And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the Lord, and his judgments with Israel.
