'Causes' in the Bible

Give ear now to my suggestion, and may God be with you: you are to be the people's representative before God, taking their causes to him:

And let them be judges in the causes of the people at all times: and let them put before you all important questions, but in small things let them give decisions themselves: in this way, it will be less hard for you, and they will take the weight off you.

And they were judges in the causes of the people at all times: the hard questions they put before Moses; but on every small point they gave decisions themselves.
