Commentary on Exodus 18:15

Theological / Devotional

To enquire of God. This undoubtedly means that the people came to Moses as to one whom they regarded as qualified to speak for God. They did not look to Moses as they had looked toward the judges they knew in Egypt, but considered him as the appointed mouthpiece of God. Apparently, this was also Moses’ point of view, and since the Lord had not instructed him otherwise, he felt it his duty to decide all cases brought to him.
