And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.
If you do this, and God gives approval, then you will be able to go on without weariness, and all this people will go to their tents in peace.
And the Lord said to Moses,
And they had him shut up, because they had no directions about what was to be done with him.
So Moses put their cause before the Lord.
And Moses said to them, Do nothing till the Lord gives me directions about you.
