02:018:011 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
02:018:012 And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and
sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of
Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father in law before God.
02:018:013 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.
02:018:014 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?
02:018:015 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:
02:018:016 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.
02:018:017 And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
02:018:018 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is
with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not
able to perform it thyself alone.
02:018:019 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God
shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that
thou mayest bring the causes unto God:
02:018:020 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.
