And Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp: After Moses corrected Joshua, he and the seventy leaders returned to their tents in the camp. The connector “Then” in Good News Translation begins this verse well. Good News Translation also specifies that the elders of Israel were “the seventy leaders of Israel,” which other languages may find helpful.
