2 Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, received Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her away, Exodus 18:2WEB
3 and her two sons. The name of one son was Gershom, for Moses said, “I have lived as a foreigner in a foreign land”. Exodus 18:3WEB
4 The name of the other was Eliezer, for he said, “My father’s God was my help and delivered me from Pharaoh’s sword.” Exodus 18:4WEB

6 He said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, have come to you with your wife, and her two sons with her.” Exodus 18:6WEB
7 Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed and kissed him. They asked each other of their welfare, and they came into the tent. Exodus 18:7WEB

11 Now I know that YHWH is greater than all gods because of the way that they treated people arrogantly.” Exodus 18:11WEB

13 On the next day, Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from the morning to the evening. Exodus 18:13WEB
14 When Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, “What is this thing that you do for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning to evening?” Exodus 18:14WEB
15 Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God. Exodus 18:15WEB

17 Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “The thing that you do is not good. Exodus 18:17WEB
18 You will surely wear away, both you, and this people that is with you; for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to perform it yourself alone. Exodus 18:18WEB
19 Listen now to my voice. I will give you counsel, and God be with you. You represent the people before God, and bring the causes to God. Exodus 18:19WEB

20 You shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and shall show them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do. Exodus 18:20WEB

22 Let them judge the people at all times. It shall be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge themselves. So shall it be easier for you, and they shall share the load with you. Exodus 18:22WEB
23 If you will do this thing, and God commands you so, then you will be able to endure, and all these people also will go to their place in peace.” Exodus 18:23WEB
