13It cameH1961 about the nextH4283 dayH4283 that MosesH4872 satH3427 to judgeH8199 the peopleH5971, and the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 aboutH5921 MosesH4872 from the morningH1242 untilH5704 the eveningH6153. 14Now when Moses’H4872 father-in-lawH2860 sawH7200 allH3605 that he was doingH6213 for the peopleH5971, he saidH559, “WhatH4100 is thisH2088 thingH1697 that you are doingH6213 for the peopleH5971?
