This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Daysman; or, a reprover; or, a judge or umpire, whose office was to reprove the guilty person. That might lay his hand upon us both, i.e. use his power and authority to appoint the time and place of our meeting, to order and govern us in pleading, and to oblige us to stand to his decision. The
hand is oft put for power, and laying on the hand upon another was ofttimes an act and sign of superiority and dominion.
