- When Jethro, <H3503> the priest <H3548> of Midian, <H4080> Moses' <H4872> father in law, <H2859> heard <H8085> of all that God <H0430> had done <H6213> for Moses, <H4872> and for Israel <H3478> his people, <H5971> [and] that the LORD <H3068> had brought Israel <H3478> out <H3318> of Egypt; <H4714>
- 2
- Then Jethro, <H3503> Moses' <H4872> father in law, <H2859> took <H3947> Zipporah, <H6855> Moses' <H4872> wife, <H0802> after <H0310> he had sent her back, <H7964>
- 3
- And her two <H8147> sons; <H1121> of which the name <H8034> of the one <H0259> [was] Gershom; <H1647> for he said, <H0559> I have been an alien <H1616> in a strange <H5237> land: <H0776>
- 4
- And the name <H8034> of the other <H0259> [was] Eliezer; <H0461> for the God <H0430> of my father, <H0001> [said he, was] mine help, <H5828> and delivered <H5337> me from the sword <H2719> of Pharaoh: <H6547>
- 5
- And Jethro, <H3503> Moses' <H4872> father in law, <H2859> came <H0935> with his sons <H1121> and his wife <H0802> unto Moses <H4872> into the wilderness, <H4057> where he encamped <H2583> at the mount <H2022> of God: <H0430>
- 6
- And he said <H0559> unto Moses, <H4872> I thy father in law <H2859> Jethro <H3503> am come <H0935> unto thee, and thy wife, <H0802> and her two <H8147> sons <H1121> with her.
- 7
- And Moses <H4872> went out <H3318> to meet <H7125> his father in law, <H2859> and did obeisance, <H7812> and kissed <H5401> him; and they asked <H7592> each <H0376> other <H7453> of [their] welfare; <H7965> and they came <H0935> into the tent. <H0168>
- 8
- And Moses <H4872> told <H5608> his father in law <H2859> all that the LORD <H3068> had done <H6213> unto Pharaoh <H6547> and to the Egyptians <H4714> for Israel's <H3478> sake, <H0182> [and] all the travail <H8513> that had come upon <H4672> them by the way, <H1870> and [how] the LORD <H3068> delivered <H5337> them.
- 9
- And Jethro <H3503> rejoiced <H2302> for all the goodness <H2896> which the LORD <H3068> had done <H6213> to Israel, <H3478> whom he had delivered <H5337> out of the hand <H3027> of the Egyptians. <H4714>
- 10
- And Jethro <H3503> said, <H0559> Blessed <H1288> [be] the LORD, <H3068> who hath delivered <H5337> you out of the hand <H3027> of the Egyptians, <H4714> and out of the hand <H3027> of Pharaoh, <H6547> who hath delivered <H5337> the people <H5971> from under the hand <H3027> of the Egyptians. <H4714>
- 11
- Now I know <H3045> that the LORD <H3068> [is] greater <H1419> than all gods: <H0430> for in the thing <H1697> wherein they dealt proudly <H2102> [he was] above them.
- 12
- And Jethro, <H3503> Moses' <H4872> father in law, <H2859> took <H3947> a burnt offering <H5930> and sacrifices <H2077> for God: <H0430> and Aaron <H0175> came, <H0935> and all the elders <H2205> of Israel, <H3478> to eat <H0398> bread <H3899> with Moses' <H4872> father in law <H2859> before <H6440> God. <H0430>
- 13
- And it came to pass on the morrow, <H4283> that Moses <H4872> sat <H3427> to judge <H8199> the people: <H5971> and the people <H5971> stood <H5975> by Moses <H4872> from the morning <H1242> unto the evening. <H6153>
- 14
- And when Moses' <H4872> father in law <H2859> saw <H7200> all that he did <H6213> to the people, <H5971> he said, <H0559> What [is] this thing <H1697> that thou doest <H6213> to the people? <H5971> why sittest <H3427> thou thyself alone, and all the people <H5971> stand <H5324> by thee from morning <H1242> unto even? <H6153>
- 15
- And Moses <H4872> said <H0559> unto his father in law, <H2859> Because the people <H5971> come <H0935> unto me to enquire <H1875> of God: <H0430>
- 16
- When they have a matter, <H1697> they come <H0935> unto me; and I judge <H8199> between one <H0376> and another, <H7453> and I do make [them] know <H3045> the statutes <H2706> of God, <H0430> and his laws. <H8451>
- 17
- And Moses' <H4872> father in law <H2859> said <H0559> unto him, The thing <H1697> that thou doest <H6213> [is] not good. <H2896>
- 18
- Thou wilt surely <H5034> wear away, <H5034> both thou, and this people <H5971> that [is] with thee: for this thing <H1697> [is] too heavy <H3515> for thee; thou art not able <H3201> to perform <H6213> it thyself alone.
- 19
- Hearken <H8085> now unto my voice, <H6963> I will give thee counsel, <H3289> and God <H0430> shall be with thee: Be <H1961> thou for the people <H5971> to God-ward, <H4136> <H0430> that thou mayest bring <H0935> the causes <H1697> unto God: <H0430>
- 20
- And thou shalt teach <H2094> them <H0853> ordinances <H2706> and laws, <H8451> and shalt shew <H3045> them the way <H1870> wherein they must walk, <H3212> and the work <H4639> that they must do. <H6213>
- 21
- Moreover thou shalt provide <H2372> out of all the people <H5971> able <H2428> men, <H0582> such as fear <H3373> God, <H0430> men <H0582> of truth, <H0571> hating <H8130> covetousness; <H1215> and place <H7760> [such] over them, [to be] rulers <H8269> of thousands, <H0505> [and] rulers <H8269> of hundreds, <H3967> rulers <H8269> of fifties, <H2572> and rulers <H8269> of tens: <H6235>
- 22
- And let them judge <H8199> the people <H5971> at all seasons: <H6256> and it shall be, [that] every great <H1419> matter <H1697> they shall bring <H0935> unto thee, but every small <H6996> matter <H1697> they shall judge: <H8199> so shall it be easier <H7043> for thyself, and they shall bear <H5375> [the burden] with thee.
- 23
- If thou shalt do <H6213> this thing, <H1697> and God <H0430> command <H6680> thee [so], then thou shalt be able <H3201> to endure, <H5975> and all this people <H5971> shall also go <H0935> to their place <H4725> in peace. <H7965>
- 24
- So Moses <H4872> hearkened <H8085> to the voice <H6963> of his father in law, <H2859> and did <H6213> all that he had said. <H0559>
- 25
- And Moses <H4872> chose <H0977> able <H2428> men <H0582> out of all Israel, <H3478> and made <H5414> them heads <H7218> over the people, <H5971> rulers <H8269> of thousands, <H0505> rulers <H8269> of hundreds, <H3967> rulers <H8269> of fifties, <H2572> and rulers <H8269> of tens. <H6235>
- 26
- And they judged <H8199> the people <H5971> at all seasons: <H6256> the hard <H7186> causes <H1697> they brought <H0935> unto Moses, <H4872> but every small <H6996> matter <H1697> they judged <H8199> themselves. <H1992>
- 27
- And Moses <H4872> let his father in law <H2859> depart; <H7971> and he went <H3212> his way into his own land. <H0776>
