Leviticus 24:12

And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.

And Moses said to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to get directions from God:

And they had him shut up, because they had no directions about what was to be done with him.

So Moses put their cause before the Lord.

So by the direction of the Lord, Moses gave orders to the children of Israel, saying, What the tribe of the sons of Joseph have said is right.

If you do this, and God gives approval, then you will be able to go on without weariness, and all this people will go to their tents in peace.
