'Elders' in the Bible

When you heard the voice from the darkness while the mountain was blazing, all the leaders and elders of your tribes came to me and said:

then the elders of his own city shall send for him, remove him from there, and deliver him to the related avenger for execution.

then let your elders and judges go out and measure the distance from the dead body to the neighboring cities.

Then the elders of the city nearest the body are to take a heifer that hasn't been put to work or hasn't pulled a yoke

All the elders of the city nearest the dead body are to wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley,

then his parents are to seize him and bring him before the elders at the gate of his city.

Then they are to declare to the elders of their city: "Our son is stubborn and rebellious. He does not obey us. He lives wildly and is a drunkard.'

Then the father of the young lady, along with her mother, is to bring evidence of the young lady's virginity to the elders at the gate.

The father of the young lady is to then say to the elders: "I have given my daughter to this man as a wife, but he despises her.

Now look, he has invented charges against her by saying, "I haven't found your daughter to be a virgin." But here is the proof of my daughter's virginity.' Then they are to spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

But if the man does not want to marry his brother's widow, then she must go to the elders at the city gate and declare, "My husband's brother refuses to perform the duty of a brother-in-law in order to preserve the name of his brother in Israel. He is not willing to perform the duty of a brother-in-law.'

Then the elders of the city are to summon him and speak with him. If he insists on saying, "I don't want to marry her,'

then she is to approach her brother-in-law in the presence of the elders, remove his sandal, spit in his face, and say in response, "May this be done to the man who does not preserve the lineage of his brother.'

Moses and the elders of Israel gave these orders to the people: "Observe all of the commandments that I'm giving you today.

"All of you are standing today in the presence of the LORD your God the heads of your tribes, your elders, your magistrates, all the men of Israel,

Remember the days of old, reflect on the years of previous generations. Ask your father, and he'll tell you; your elders will inform you.
