From the Rebbe’s Father – Shoftim
Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly
16:18
Rambam Mishna Torah Sanhedrin Chapter 1:3
A supreme court is established in the Temple. This is called the Great Sanhedrin. It was composed of 71 judges. This is derived from Numbers 11:16 which states: “Gather for Me seventy men from the elders of Israel.” And Moses presided over them, as the verse continues: “And they shall stand there with you.” Thus there are 71.
Tehilim 82:1
Hashem stands in the divine assembly;
among the divine beings He pronounces judgment.
Questions;
A) Why where there 71 judges, the meaning of # 71?
B) With Hashem It’s 72, the meaning of # 72?
