In ancient times, the wise men would sit at the gate. Townspeople often brought their questions or issues to the men at the gate in search of a justice. In the book of Ruth, chapter 4, you can see this illustrated when Boaz seeks the hand of Ruth but knows that there is another (the near kinsman) with a greater claim. Boaz calls the kinsman in front of the wise men at the gate and convinces him, before these witnesses, to relinquish his claim.
While it may not seem like justice was done by our way of thinking, justice was certainly done in their minds because the actions were consistant with Jewish laws and customs.

Where does the Bible say say what you mean and mean what you say?
That is not from the Bible. Neither is 'god helps those who help themselves', or 'money is the root of all evil'. The closest thing that the Bible says is this: 12But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.A colloquial explanation of this would be as in the question 'mean what you say.' People should not need to add oaths to what they say to prove their sincerity. Likely if people do this in ordinary speech they are the more likely to be suspect.Well the bible does not say exactly that but "let your yes be yes and your no be no" Matt 5:37.

In a circuit board, either an AND gate or an OR gate has two inputs and one output. For example, let's call the inputs A and B--these are wires that, at a given time are either hot (have electric current) or cold (have no current). Let's call the output C; it is either hot or cold depending on the gate and the inputs at the time. If the gate is an AND gete, C will be hot only when both A and B are hot. If the gate is an OR gate, C will be hot if either A or B or both are hot.
