'Judge' in the Bible

But he said, “Who made you a prince or a judge over us? Are you intending to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and said, “Surely the matter has become known.”

They said to them, “May the Lord look upon you and judge you, for you have made us odious in Pharaoh’s sight and in the sight of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us.”

It came about the next day that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood about Moses from the morning until the evening.

Now when Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, “What is this thing that you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge and all the people stand about you from morning until evening?”

When they have a dispute, it comes to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor and make known the statutes of God and His laws.”

Let them judge the people at all times; and let it be that every major dispute they will bring to you, but every minor dispute they themselves will judge. So it will be easier for you, and they will bear the burden with you.

They judged the people at all times; the difficult dispute they would bring to Moses, but every minor dispute they themselves would judge.
