The closest anyone can come is Exodus 18:13 which says' "The next day Moses took his seat to serve as judge for the people, and they stood around him from morning till evening."
Note that it references Moses (and his seat) functioning as a Judge, not a teaching authority.
Thanks for replying NL. Iscool said Protestants have no
problem finding the seat of Moses in the OT.
Why doesn’t he post the verses? Reason, Catholics are right. The literal “seat” of Moses is not written in the OT. Jesus is speaking of an oral teaching, tradition. “Bible Alone” is false.
“According to Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees occupy “Moses’ seat” (Matt. 23:2), having the authority and ability to interpret the law of Moses correctly; here “seat” is both a metaphor for judicial authority and also a reference to a LITERAL stone seat in the front of many synagogues that would be occupied by an authoritative teacher of the law.”

Exo 18:13 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.
Exo 18:14 And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
Exo 18:15 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:
Exo 18:16 When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
Exo 18:20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
And thou shalt teach...Yes, Moses was THE teaching authority...How can you even make a statement like you make with this staring you in the face???
Or perhaps you quote from your Catholic sources and don't bother to look and see what God says about it...
