This reflects his role as a prophet and intercessor, similar to how Jesus intercedes for believers (<a href="/hebrews/7-25.htm">Hebrews 7:25</a>). The context here involves the daughters of Zelophehad, who approached Moses with a legal issue regarding inheritance rights, highlighting the importance of justice and fairness in God's law. This act of bringing the case before the LORD underscores the theocratic nature of Israel's governance, where divine guidance was sought in legal matters. It also illustrates the principle of seeking God's wisdom in decision-making, a theme echoed in <a href="/james/1-5.htm">James 1:5</a>, which encourages believers to ask God for wisdom. Moses' action demonstrates humility and reliance on God, setting a precedent for leaders to seek divine counsel.
