Exodus 18:9-15
9JethroH3503 rejoicedH2302 overH5921 allH3605 1the goodnessH2899 whichH834 the LordH3068 had doneH6213 to IsraelH3478, 2in deliveringH5337 3them from the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714. 10So JethroH3503 saidH559, “4BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068 whoH834 deliveredH5337 you from the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714 and from the handH3027 of PharaohH6547, and whoH834 deliveredH5337 the peopleH5971 from underH8478 the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714. 11NowH6258 I knowH3045 that 5the LordH3068 is greaterH1419 thanH4480 allH3605 the godsH430; 6indeedH3588, 7it was provenH1697 whenH834 they dealtH2102 proudlyH2102 againstH5921 8the people.” 129Then JethroH3503, Moses’H4872 father-in-lawH2860, tookH3947 a burntH5930 offeringH5930 and sacrificesH2077 for GodH430, and AaronH175 cameH935 with allH3605 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 to eatH398 10a mealH3899 with Moses’H4872 father-in-lawH2860 beforeH6440 GodH430.
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? WhyH4069 do you aloneH905 sitH3427 as judge and allH3605 the peopleH5971 standH5324 aboutH5921 you from morningH1242 untilH5704 eveningH6153?” 15MosesH4872 saidH559 to his father-in-lawH2860, “BecauseH3588 the peopleH5971 comeH935 to me 11to inquireH1875 of GodH430.
