King James Bible
"When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws."
Moses describes his role as the sole arbiter for all disputes among the Israelites. This reveals the burden of leadership he carried in the wilderness, where he served as the exclusive judicial authority for potentially millions of people. Moses acts as judge, settling conflicts and rendering decisions between disputing parties. This judicial function was essential for maintaining order and justice within the newly formed nation during their desert journey. Beyond resolving individual cases, Moses teaches God's laws and principles to the people. This educational role ensures that his judgments not only solve immediate problems but also instruct the Israelites in God's standards for righteous living.
