Numbers 27,5. “Moses submitted their judicial claim ‎before the Lord (for judging).” When a father prepares ‎to allocate his inheritance to his son he derives pleasure from it. ‎At this point, with G’d being our Father, and we being His sons, ‎Moses wished to give our “Father” the pleasure and satisfaction ‎to make a ruling concerning who is to inherit what. The ‎משפט‎, ‎‎“judgmental ruling” that he referred to was the law of ‎inheritance.[I believe our author found the reference ‎to the word ‎משפט‎ as somewhat puzzling, as on similar occasions ‎when Moses submitted a legal question to G’d the term had not ‎been used. (Compare Leviticus, 24,12, or Numbers 9,8. ‎Ed.]‎
