18:16When they have a dispute,28 it comes to me and I decide29 between a man and his neighbor, and I make known the decrees of God and his laws.”30
Footnotes
- 28 Or “thing,” “matter,” “issue.”
- 29 The verb שָׁפַט (shafat) means “to judge”; more specifically, it means to make a decision as an arbiter or umpire. When people brought issues to him, Moses decided between them. In the section of laws in Exodus after the Ten Commandments come the decisions, the מִשְׁפָּטִים (mishppatim).
- 30 The “decrees” or “statutes” were definite rules, stereotyped and permanent; the “laws” were directives or pronouncements given when situations arose. S. R. Driver suggests this is another reason why this event might have taken place after Yahweh had given laws on the mountain (Exodus, ).
