Exegesis
The construct mi-baal-devarim {מִי־בַעַל דְּבָרִים | mî-baʿal də-vā-rîm} “whoever has matters” is followed by the jussive-like imperfect yigash {יִגַּשׁ | yi-qqāš} governing alehem {אֲלֵהֶם | ʼa-lê-hem}, establishing a formal procedure for dispute resolution.
In context — Exodus 24:14
And to the elders he said, “Sit here for us until we return to you. And behold, Aaron and Hur are with you—whoever has matters may approach them.”
