Midrash for Sanhedrin 32:7

ואימא אותם במשיחה ולדורות אי במשיחה אי בעבודה אמר רב פפא אמר קרא (במדבר ד, יב) אשר ישרתו בם בקודש הכתוב תלאן בשירות

— [meaning,] in future generations<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Just as the position and bounds of the Tabernacle were regulated by Moses, representing the Great Sanhedrin, so must the boundaries of the city and Temple Courts be decided upon by the Great Sanhedrin. ');"><sup>13</sup></span> Raba objected: All vessels made by Moses were hallowed by their anointing: those made subsequently were consecrated by [their] service.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., by their very use itself. Shebu. 15a. ');"><sup>14</sup></span>

Sifrei Devarim

(Devarim 16:18) "Judges and officers shall you appoint for yourself": Whence is it derived that a beth-din is appointed for all of Israel? From "Judges … shall you appoint for yourself." And whence is it derived that (police) officers are appointed for all of Israel? From "… officers shall you appoint for yourself."
