TSK · Numbers 27:5

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

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.

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

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.
