And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes of the congregation, and before all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying — The women present their case before all the assembled authorities: Moses (civil leader), Eleazar (high priest), the princes (tribal chiefs), and the congregation. The setting—before the tabernacle—emphasizes the theological significance: this case touches the intersection of family law and covenant community. Their bold public appearance and testimony marks them as agents of their own justice.
