1
When Jethro, [3503] the priest [3548] of Midian, [4080] Moses' [4872] father in law, [2859] heard [8085] of all that God [0430] had done [6213] for Moses, [4872] and for Israel [3478] his people, [5971] [and] that the LORD [3068] had brought Israel [3478] out [3318] of Egypt; [4714]
2
Then Jethro, [3503] Moses' [4872] father in law, [2859] took [3947] Zipporah, [6855] Moses' [4872] wife, [0802] after [0310] he had sent her back, [7964]
3
And her two [8147] sons; [1121] of which the name [8034] of the one [0259] [was] Gershom; [1647] for he said, [0559] I have been an alien [1616] in a strange [5237] land: [0776]
4
And the name [8034] of the other [0259] [was] Eliezer; [0461] for the God [0430] of my father, [0001] [said he, was] mine help, [5828] and delivered [5337] me from the sword [2719] of Pharaoh: [6547]
5
And Jethro, [3503] Moses' [4872] father in law, [2859] came [0935] with his sons [1121] and his wife [0802] unto Moses [4872] into the wilderness, [4057] where he encamped [2583] at the mount [2022] of God: [0430]
6
And he said [0559] unto Moses, [4872] I thy father in law [2859] Jethro [3503] am come [0935] unto thee, and thy wife, [0802] and her two [8147] sons [1121] with her.
7
And Moses [4872] went out [3318] to meet [7125] his father in law, [2859] and did obeisance, [7812] and kissed [5401] him; and they asked [7592] each [0376] other [7453] of [their] welfare; [7965] and they came [0935] into the tent. [0168]
8
And Moses [4872] told [5608] his father in law [2859] all that the LORD [3068] had done [6213] unto Pharaoh [6547] and to the Egyptians [4714] for Israel's [3478] sake, [0182] [and] all the travail [8513] that had come upon [4672] them by the way, [1870] and [how] the LORD [3068] delivered [5337] them.
9
And Jethro [3503] rejoiced [2302] for all the goodness [2896] which the LORD [3068] had done [6213] to Israel, [3478] whom he had delivered [5337] out of the hand [3027] of the Egyptians. [4714]
10
And Jethro [3503] said, [0559] Blessed [1288] [be] the LORD, [3068] who hath delivered [5337] you out of the hand [3027] of the Egyptians, [4714] and out of the hand [3027] of Pharaoh, [6547] who hath delivered [5337] the people [5971] from under the hand [3027] of the Egyptians. [4714]
11
Now I know [3045] that the LORD [3068] [is] greater [1419] than all gods: [0430] for in the thing [1697] wherein they dealt proudly [2102] [he was] above them.
12
And Jethro, [3503] Moses' [4872] father in law, [2859] took [3947] a burnt offering [5930] and sacrifices [2077] for God: [0430] and Aaron [0175] came, [0935] and all the elders [2205] of Israel, [3478] to eat [0398] bread [3899] with Moses' [4872] father in law [2859] before [6440] God. [0430]
13
And it came to pass on the morrow, [4283] that Moses [4872] sat [3427] to judge [8199] the people: [5971] and the people [5971] stood [5975] by Moses [4872] from the morning [1242] unto the evening. [6153]
14
And when Moses' [4872] father in law [2859] saw [7200] all that he did [6213] to the people, [5971] he said, [0559] What [is] this thing [1697] that thou doest [6213] to the people? [5971] why sittest [3427] thou thyself alone, and all the people [5971] stand [5324] by thee from morning [1242] unto even? [6153]
15
And Moses [4872] said [0559] unto his father in law, [2859] Because the people [5971] come [0935] unto me to enquire [1875] of God: [0430]
16
When they have a matter, [1697] they come [0935] unto me; and I judge [8199] between one [0376] and another, [7453] and I do make [them] know [3045] the statutes [2706] of God, [0430] and his laws. [8451]
17
And Moses' [4872] father in law [2859] said [0559] unto him, The thing [1697] that thou doest [6213] [is] not good. [2896]
18
Thou wilt surely [5034] wear away, [5034] both thou, and this people [5971] that [is] with thee: for this thing [1697] [is] too heavy [3515] for thee; thou art not able [3201] to perform [6213] it thyself alone.
19
Hearken [8085] now unto my voice, [6963] I will give thee counsel, [3289] and God [0430] shall be with thee: Be [1961] thou for the people [5971] to God-ward, [4136] [0430] that thou mayest bring [0935] the causes [1697] unto God: [0430]
20
And thou shalt teach [2094] them [0853] ordinances [2706] and laws, [8451] and shalt shew [3045] them the way [1870] wherein they must walk, [3212] and the work [4639] that they must do. [6213]
21
Moreover thou shalt provide [2372] out of all the people [5971] able [2428] men, [0582] such as fear [3373] God, [0430] men [0582] of truth, [0571] hating [8130] covetousness; [1215] and place [7760] [such] over them, [to be] rulers [8269] of thousands, [0505] [and] rulers [8269] of hundreds, [3967] rulers [8269] of fifties, [2572] and rulers [8269] of tens: [6235]
22
And let them judge [8199] the people [5971] at all seasons: [6256] and it shall be, [that] every great [1419] matter [1697] they shall bring [0935] unto thee, but every small [6996] matter [1697] they shall judge: [8199] so shall it be easier [7043] for thyself, and they shall bear [5375] [the burden] with thee.
23
If thou shalt do [6213] this thing, [1697] and God [0430] command [6680] thee [so], then thou shalt be able [3201] to endure, [5975] and all this people [5971] shall also go [0935] to their place [4725] in peace. [7965]
24
So Moses [4872] hearkened [8085] to the voice [6963] of his father in law, [2859] and did [6213] all that he had said. [0559]
25
And Moses [4872] chose [0977] able [2428] men [0582] out of all Israel, [3478] and made [5414] them heads [7218] over the people, [5971] rulers [8269] of thousands, [0505] rulers [8269] of hundreds, [3967] rulers [8269] of fifties, [2572] and rulers [8269] of tens. [6235]
26
And they judged [8199] the people [5971] at all seasons: [6256] the hard [7186] causes [1697] they brought [0935] unto Moses, [4872] but every small [6996] matter [1697] they judged [8199] themselves. [1992]
27
And Moses [4872] let his father in law [2859] depart; [7971] and he went [3212] his way into his own land. [0776]
