Deuteronomy33:5
5 And he was king in Jeshrun , when the heads of the people, and the tribes of Israel were gathered together .
Moses was their King, not in Title, but in reality, being under God, their supream and uncontroulable Governour, and Lawgiver. Though the word oft signifies onely a prince or chief Ruler, as Iudg. 19. 1. Ier. 19. 3. and 46. 25.
(i. e.) In Israel, so called Deut. 32. 15.
When the Princes and People met together for the management of publick affairs, Moses was owned by them as their King and Lawgiver, and he directed and ruled them as their superiour. This he saith to shew that the people approved of and consented to the Authority and Laws of Moses.
