And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them.
And he said to the elders, 'Wait here for us until we return to you. Look, Aaron and Hur are with you. If anyone has any business or disputes to settle, let them bring it to Aaron and Hur.'
Moses is telling the elders to wait while he goes up the mountain, and if people need leadership or help with problems, they should go to Aaron and Hur.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, Moses had led the Israelites out of Egypt and was on Mount Sinai, where God was giving him the law and instructions for the covenant. As Moses prepared to ascend the mountain further to receive the stone tablets, he addressed the elders, telling them to wait and appointing Aaron and Hur to handle any disputes or matters among the people. This moment highlights the need for order and leadership in the Israelite community during Moses' absence.
