And Moses brought their cause

on Numbers 27:5-6

Moses hears a case he has no law for and leaves it undecided. This is the third time in Numbers that a situation arises which the law does not cover, after the men defiled by a dead body at 9:6-8 and the sabbath-breaker at 15:32-36, and Numbers 9:8 gives the shape of all of them, I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you. Gill takes the answer of verse 6 as spoken from off the mercy seat, on the promise of Exodus 25:22 and as Numbers 7:89 records it happening.
