The Response of God
11:1640 The Lord said to Moses, “Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know are elders of the people and officials41 over them, and bring them to the tent of meeting; let them take their position there with you.
Footnotes
- 40 The Lord provides Spirit-empowered assistance for Moses. Here is another variation on the theme of Moses’ faith. Just as he refused to lead alone and was given Aaron to share the work, so here he protests the burden and will share it with seventy elders. If God’s servant will not trust wholeheartedly, that individual will not be used by God as he or she might have been. Others will share in the power and the work. Probably one could say that it was God’s will for others to share this leadership—but not to receive it through these circumstances.
- 41 The “officials” (שֹׁטְּרִים, shottérim) were a group of the elders who seem to have had some administrative capacities. The used the word “scribes.” For further discussion, see R. de Vaux, Ancient Israel, 69–70.
