Exodus 18

When Jethro
<03503>_,

the priest
<03548>

of Midian
<04080>_,

Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

heard
<08085> (8799)

of all that God
<0430>

had done
<06213> (8804)

for Moses
<04872>_,

and for Israel
<03478>

his people
<05971>_,

[and] that the LORD
<03068>

had brought
<03318> (8689)

Israel
<03478>

out of Egypt
<04714>_;

Then Jethro
<03503>_,

Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

took
<03947> (8799)

Zipporah
<06855>_,

Moses
<04872>_'

wife
<0802>_,

after
<0310>

he had sent her back
<07964>_,

And her two
<08147>

sons
<01121>_;

of which the name
<08034>

of the one
<0259>

[was] Gershom
<01647>_;

for he said
<0559> (8804)_,

I have been an alien
<01616>

in a strange
<05237>

land
<0776>_:

{Gershom: that is A stranger there}

And the name
<08034>

of the other
<0259>

[was] Eliezer
<0461>_;

for the God
<0430>

of my father
<01>_,

[said he, was] mine help
<05828>_,

and delivered
<05337> (8686)

me from the sword
<02719>

of Pharaoh
<06547>_:

{Eliezer: that is, My God is an help}

And Jethro
<03503>_,

Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

came
<0935> (8799)

with his sons
<01121>

and his wife
<0802>

unto Moses
<04872>

into the wilderness
<04057>_,

where he encamped
<02583> (8802)

at the mount
<02022>

of God
<0430>_:

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

I thy father in law
<02859> (8802)

Jethro
<03503>

am come
<0935> (8802)

unto thee, and thy wife
<0802>_,

and her two
<08147>

sons
<01121>

with her.

And Moses
<04872>

went out
<03318> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

and did obeisance
<07812> (8691)_,

and kissed
<05401> (8799)

him; and they asked
<07592> (8799)

each
<0376>

other
<07453>

of [their] welfare
<07965>_;

and they came
<0935> (8799)

into the tent
<0168>_.

{welfare: Heb. peace}

And Moses
<04872>

told
<05608> (8762)

his father in law
<02859> (8802)

all that the LORD
<03068>

had done
<06213> (8804)

unto Pharaoh
<06547>

and to the Egyptians
<04714>

for Israel's
<03478>

sake
<0182>_,

[and] all the travail
<08513>

that had come
<04672> (8804)

upon them by the way
<01870>_,

and [how] the LORD
<03068>

delivered
<05337> (8686)

them. {come...: Heb. found them}

And Jethro
<03503>

rejoiced
<02302> (8799)

for all the goodness
<02896>

which the LORD
<03068>

had done
<06213> (8804)

to Israel
<03478>_,

whom he had delivered
<05337> (8689)

out of the hand
<03027>

of the Egyptians
<04714>_.

And Jethro
<03503>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>_,

who hath delivered
<05337> (8689)

you out of the hand
<03027>

of the Egyptians
<04714>_,

and out of the hand
<03027>

of Pharaoh
<06547>_,

who hath delivered
<05337> (8689)

the people
<05971>

from under the hand
<03027>

of the Egyptians
<04714>_.

Now I know
<03045> (8804)

that the LORD
<03068>

[is] greater
<01419>

than all gods
<0430>_:

for in the thing
<01697>

wherein they dealt proudly
<02102> (8804)

[he was] above them.

And Jethro
<03503>_,

Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

took
<03947> (8799)

a burnt offering
<05930>

and sacrifices
<02077>

for God
<0430>_:

and Aaron
<0175>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

and all the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>_,

to eat
<0398> (8800)

bread
<03899>

with Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)

before
<06440>

God
<0430>_.

And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,

that Moses
<04872>

sat
<03427> (8799)

to judge
<08199> (8800)

the people
<05971>_:

and the people
<05971>

stood
<05975> (8799)

by Moses
<04872>

from the morning
<01242>

unto the evening
<06153>_.

And when Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)

saw
<07200> (8799)

all that he did
<06213> (8802)

to the people
<05971>_,

he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [is] this thing
<01697>

that thou doest
<06213> (8802)

to the people
<05971>_?

why sittest
<03427> (8802)

thou thyself alone, and all the people
<05971>

stand
<05324> (8737)

by thee from morning
<01242>

unto even
<06153>_?

And Moses
<04872>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

Because the people
<05971>

come
<0935> (8799)

unto me to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of God
<0430>_:

When they have a matter
<01697>_,

they come
<0935> (8802)

unto me; and I judge
<08199> (8804)

between one
<0376>

and another
<07453>_,

and I do make [them] know
<03045> (8689)

the statutes
<02706>

of God
<0430>_,

and his laws
<08451>_.

{one...: Heb. a man and his fellow}

And Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, The thing
<01697>

that thou doest
<06213> (8802)

[is] not good
<02896>_.

Thou wilt surely
<05034> (8800)

wear away
<05034> (8799)_,

both thou, and this people
<05971>

that [is] with thee: for this thing
<01697>

[is] too heavy
<03515>

for thee; thou art not able
<03201> (8799)

to perform
<06213> (8800)

it thyself alone. {Thou wilt...: Heb. Fading thou wilt fade}

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

now unto my voice
<06963>_,

I will give thee counsel
<03289> (8799)_,

and God
<0430>

shall be
<01961> (8798)

with thee: Be thou for the people
<05971>

to God-ward
<04136> <0430>_,

that thou mayest bring
<0935> (8689)

the causes
<01697>

unto God
<0430>_:

And thou shalt teach
<02094> (8689) <0853>

them ordinances
<02706>

and laws
<08451>_,

and shalt shew
<03045> (8689)

them the way
<01870>

wherein they must walk
<03212> (8799)_,

and the work
<04639>

that they must do
<06213> (8799)_.

Moreover thou shalt provide
<02372> (8799)

out of all the people
<05971>

able
<02428>

men
<0582>_,

such as fear
<03373>

God
<0430>_,

men
<0582>

of truth
<0571>_,

hating
<08130> (8802)

covetousness
<01215>_;

and place
<07760> (8804)

[such] over them, [to be] rulers
<08269>

of thousands
<0505>_,

[and] rulers
<08269>

of hundreds
<03967>_,

rulers
<08269>

of fifties
<02572>_,

and rulers
<08269>

of tens
<06235>_:

And let them judge
<08199> (8804)

the people
<05971>

at all seasons
<06256>_:

and it shall be, [that] every great
<01419>

matter
<01697>

they shall bring
<0935> (8686)

unto thee, but every small
<06996>

matter
<01697>

they shall judge
<08199> (8799)_:

so shall it be easier
<07043> (8685)

for thyself, and they shall bear
<05375> (8804)

[the burden] with thee.

If thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>_,

and God
<0430>

command
<06680> (8765)

thee [so], then thou shalt be able
<03201> (8804)

to endure
<05975> (8800)_,

and all this people
<05971>

shall also go
<0935> (8799)

to their place
<04725>

in peace
<07965>_.

So Moses
<04872>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

to the voice
<06963>

of his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

and did
<06213> (8799)

all that he had said
<0559> (8804)_.

And Moses
<04872>

chose
<0977> (8799)

able
<02428>

men
<0582>

out of all Israel
<03478>_,

and made
<05414> (8799)

them heads
<07218>

over the people
<05971>_,

rulers
<08269>

of thousands
<0505>_,

rulers
<08269>

of hundreds
<03967>_,

rulers
<08269>

of fifties
<02572>_,

and rulers
<08269>

of tens
<06235>_.

And they judged
<08199> (8804)

the people
<05971>

at all seasons
<06256>_:

the hard
<07186>

causes
<01697>

they brought
<0935> (8686)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

but every small
<06996>

matter
<01697> <01992>

they judged
<08199> (8799)

themselves.

And Moses
<04872>

let his father in law
<02859> (8802)

depart
<07971> (8762)_;

and he went
<03212> (8799)

his way into his own land
<0776>_.
