 As a popular saying said, the king's servant is a king, and thus Scripture calls the Euphrates great because of its association with the great nation of Israel.The Tosefta taught that just as the Israelites were commanded to establish courts of justice in their towns (as Moses reported in ) all children of Noah (that is, all people) were admonished (as the first of seven Noahide laws) to set up courts of justice.Rabbi Meir taught that when, as reports, Moses saw all the work of the Tabernacle and the Priestly garments that the Israelites had done, “Moses blessed them” with the blessing of saying, “The Lord, the God of your ancestors, make you a thousand times so many more as you are, and bless you, as God has promised you!”

Rabbi Samuel bar Nahmani, citing Rabbi Johanan, noted that in God told Moses, "Get you from each one of your tribes, wise men and understanding, and full of knowledge," but in Moses reported, "So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men and full of knowledge."
