What qualifies a person in ancient Israel to be an Elder????????? After Moses returned to Egypt there were elders for each tribe.

When Moses spoke to Jethro his father in law, his father in law recommended Moses selecting judges.

Can someone tell me the difference between the 2?

Pslam 71:20 [Thou], which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

The short answer is that there were two types of elders in Israel. Ecclesiastical elders and civil elders (judges).
