Congregation:
This describes the Hebrew people in its collective capacity under its peculiar aspect as a holy community, held together by religious rather than political bonds. Sometimes it is used in a broad sense as inclusive of foreign settlers (Exodus 12:19) but more properly as exclusively appropriate to the Hebrew element of the population (Numbers 15:15). The congregation was governed by the father or head of each family and tribe. The number of these representatives being inconveniently large for ordinary business, a further selection was made by Moses of 70, who formed a species of standing committee (Numbers 11:16). Occasionally indeed the whole body of people was assembled at the door of the tabernacle, hence usually called the tabernacle of the congregation (Numbers 10:3). The people were strictly bound by the acts of their representatives, even in cases where they disapproved of them (Joshua 9:18).
