The Basics of Judaism: Jewish Texts: The Elders in Devarim:
Who are the elders that Moses is referring to in Deuteronomy 32:7?
"Elders" can be translated literally as "old people", as in Targum
Onkelos. It can also refer to Torah scholars, or to the Torah
itself; see Targum Yonasan and Targum Yerushalmi. This interpretation
is favored by Rashi, who says that "your father" refers to the
prophets, and "your elders" to the wise.
