Leviticus 24:12

So they placed him in custody until they were able to make a clear legal decision for themselves based on words from the mouth of the Lord.

Moses said to his father-in-law, "Because the people come to me to inquire of God.

They put him in custody, because there was no clear instruction about what should be done to him.

So Moses brought their case before the Lord.

Then Moses gave a ruling to the Israelites by the word of the Lord: "What the tribe of the Josephites is saying is right.

If you do this thing, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all these people will be able to go home satisfied."
