Read Exodus 18 in full →12aThen Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God, and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat 1a meal with Moses’ father-in-law before God.
13Now it happened the next day that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood about Moses from the morning until the evening. 14And Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, so he said, “What is this thing that you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge and all the people stand about you from morning until evening?” 15And Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me ato inquire of God. 16“When they have a amatter, it comes to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor and make known the statutes of God and His laws.”
