Exodus 18:12-16

12Then MosesH4872’ father-in-lawH2859 JethroH3503 broughtH3947 a burnt offeringH5930 and sacrificesH2077 to GodH430, and AaronH175 cameH935 with allH3605 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 to eatH398 breadH3899 withH5973 MosesH4872’ father-in-lawH2859 in the presenceH6440 of GodH430.

The next dayH4283 MosesH4872 took his seatH3427 to judgeH8199 the peopleH5971, and they stoodH5975H5971 aroundH5921 him fromH4480 morningH1242 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 14WhenH4872 his father-in-lawH2859 sawH7200 allH3605 thatH834 Moses was doingH6213 for the peopleH5971, he askedH559, “WhatH4100 is thisH2088 thatH834 you areH859 doingH6213 for the peopleH5971? WhyH4069 do youH859 sitH3427 aloneH905 as judge, with allH3605 the peopleH5971 standingH5324 aroundH5921 you fromH4480 morningH1242 tillH5704 eveningH6153?”

15“BecauseH3588 the peopleH5971 comeH935 to meH413 to inquireH1875 of GodH430,” MosesH4872 repliedH559. 16“WheneverH3588 they haveH1961 a disputeH1697, it is broughtH935 to meH413 to judgeH8199 betweenH996 one manH376H996 and anotherH7453, and I make knownH3045 to themH853 the statutesH2706 andH853 lawsH8451 of GodH430.”
