moses

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lawmaker' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for moses that I've seen before include "the tablet-taker?" , "Israelite leader" , "Receiver of tablets" , "He led the Jews from bondage in Egypt" , "Old Testament patriarch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
