Exodus 18:13

Context

18:13 On the next day 1  Moses sat to judge 2  the people, and the people stood around Moses from morning until evening.

1 tn Heb “and it was/happened on the morrow.”

2 sn This is a simple summary of the function of Moses on this particular day. He did not necessarily do this every day, but it was time now to do it. The people would come to solve their difficulties or to hear instruction from Moses on decisions to be made. The tradition of “sitting in Moses’ seat” is drawn from this passage.
