Why were the names of the elders not known? [Answer:] Lest anyone say: Behold, I shall equalize someone with Eldad and Medad? [Or:] Behold, I shall equalize someone with Nadab and Abihu? And [Scripture] says: ”YHWH, who made Moses and Aaron” etc., and it says [further]: ”Then YHWH sent Jerubbaal and Bedan”. Jerubbaal - this is Gideon. Bedan - this is Samson. Jephthah - in his literal sense. And likewise, it says: "Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call his name". Scripture presented three of the next to three of the greatest of the world to teach you that the judgment of Jerubbaal is as great before God as the judgment of Moses, and that the judgment of Jephthah is as great before God as the judgment of Samuel, and to teach you that everyone who becomes a leader of the community is equal to the mightiest of the mighty. For it is said: "You shall come to the judge who will be in those days" ־ There is only the judge who is in your days. And it says [further]: "Do not wonder to yourslef how was it [in the earlier days? were they better than these? For that is not what you ask out of wisdom]".
