When Jethro
,
the priest
of Midian
,
Moses'
father in law,
heard
of all
that God
had done
for Moses
,
and for
Israel
his people
,
and
that the LORD
had brought
Israel
out of Egypt
;
2
Then Jethro
,
Moses'
father in law,
took
Zipporah
,
Moses'
wife
,
after
he had sent her back,
3
And her two
sons
;
of which the name
of the one
was
Gershom
;
for he said
,
I
have been
an alien
in a strange
land
:
4
And the name
of the other
was
Eliezer
;
for the God
of my father
,
said he, was
mine help,
and delivered
me from the sword
of Pharaoh
:
5
And Jethro
,
Moses'
father in law,
came
with his sons
and his wife
unto Moses
into the wilderness
,
where he encamped
at the mount
of God
:
6
And he said
unto Moses
, I thy father in law
Jethro
am come
unto thee, and thy wife,
and her two
sons
with her.
7
And Moses
went out
to meet his father in law,
and did obeisance
,
and kissed
him; and they asked
each
other
of
their
welfare
;
and they came
into the tent
.
8
And Moses
told
his father in law
all
that the LORD
had done
unto Pharaoh
and
to the Egyptians
for Israel's
sake,
and
all
the travail
that had come
upon them by the way
,
and
how
the LORD
delivered
them.
9
And Jethro
rejoiced
for
all
the goodness
which
the LORD
had done
to Israel
,
whom he had delivered
out of the hand
of the Egyptians.
10
And Jethro
said
,
Blessed
be
the LORD
,
who
hath delivered
you out of the hand
of the Egyptians,
and out of the hand
of Pharaoh
,
who
hath delivered
the people
from
under
the hand
of the Egyptians.
11
Now
I know
that the LORD
is
greater
than
all
gods
:
for in the thing
wherein they dealt proudly
he was
above them.
12
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
.
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
.
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
sit
test thou thyself alone,
and
all
the people
stand
by thee from morning
unto even?
15
And Moses
said
unto his father in law,
Because
the people
come
unto me to inquire
of God
:
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
.
17
And Moses'
father in law
said
unto him, The thing
that thou doest
is
not good
.
18
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.
19
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
:
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
.
21
More
over
thou shalt provide
out
of all
the people
able
men
, such as fear
God
,
men
of truth
,
hating
covetousness
;
and place
such
over
them,
to be
rulers
of thousands
,
and
rulers
of hundreds
, rulers
of fifties
, and rulers
of tens
:
22
And let them judge
the people
at
all
seasons
: and it sh
all
be,
that
every
great
matter
they sh
all
bring
unto thee, but
every
sm
all
matter
they sh
all
judge
:
so sh
all
it be easier
for thyself, and they sh
all
bear
the burden
with thee.
23
If
thou shalt do
this
thing
,
and God
command
thee
so
, then thou shalt be able
to endure
,
and all
this
people
shall
also
go
to their place
in peace
.
24
So Moses
hearkened
to the voice of his father in law,
and did
all
that he had said
.
25
And Moses
chose
able
men
out
of all
Israel
,
and made
them heads
over
the people
,
rulers
of thousands
,
rulers
of hundreds
,
rulers
of fifties
, and
rulers
of tens
.
26
And
they judged
the people
at
all
seasons
:
the hard
causes
they brought
unto Moses
,
but
every
small
matter
they judged
themselves.
27
And Moses
let his father in law
depart
; and he
went
his way into his own land
.
