Exodus 18 (kjv)

When Jethro^H3503, the priest^H3548 of Midian^H4080, Moses^H4872' father in law^H2859, heard^H8085 of all that God^H430 had done^H6213 for Moses^H4872, and for Israel^H3478 his people^H5971, and that the LORD^H3068 had brought^H3318 Israel^H3478 out of Egypt^H4714;²Then Jethro^H3503, Moses^H4872' father in law^H2859, took^H3947 Zipporah^H6855, Moses^H4872' wife^H802, after^H310 he had sent her back^H7964,³And her two^H8147 sons^H1121; of which the name^H8034 of the one^H259 was Gershom^H1647; for he said^H559, I have been an alien^H1616 in a strange^H5237 land^H776:⁴And the name^H8034 of the other^H259 was Eliezer^H461; for the God^H430 of my father^H1, said he, was mine help^H5828, and delivered^H5337 me from the sword^H2719 of Pharaoh^H6547:⁵And Jethro^H3503, Moses^H4872' father in law^H2859, came^H935 with his sons^H1121 and his wife^H802 unto Moses^H4872 into the wilderness^H4057, where he encamped^H2583 at the mount^H2022 of God^H430:⁶And he said^H559 unto Moses^H4872, I thy father in law^H2859 Jethro^H3503 am come^H935 unto thee, and thy wife^H802, and her two^H8147 sons^H1121 with her.

⁷And 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^H376 other^H7453 of their welfare^H7965; and they came^H935 into the tent^H168.⁸And 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^H182, and all the travail^H8513 that had come^H4672 upon them by the way^H1870, and how the LORD^H3068 delivered^H5337 them.

⁹And 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^H4714.¹⁰And Jethro^H3503 said^H559, 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^H4714.¹¹Now I know^H3045 that the LORD^H3068 is greater^H1419 than all gods^H430: for in the thing^H1697 wherein they dealt proudly^H2102 he was above them.¹²And Jethro^H3503, Moses^H4872' father in law^H2859, took^H3947 a burnt offering^H5930 and sacrifices^H2077 for God^H430: and Aaron^H175 came^H935, and all the elders^H2205 of Israel^H3478, to eat^H398 bread^H3899 with Moses^H4872' father in law^H2859 before^H6440 God^H430.

¹³And 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^H6153.¹⁴And when Moses^H4872' father in law^H2859 saw^H7200 all that he did^H6213 to the people^H5971, he said^H559, 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?¹⁵And Moses^H4872 said^H559 unto his father in law^H2859, Because the people^H5971 come^H935 unto me to enquire^H1875 of God^H430:¹⁶When they have a matter^H1697, they come^H935 unto me; and I judge^H8199 between one^H376 and another^H7453, and I do make them know^H3045 the statutes^H2706 of God^H430, and his laws^H8451.¹⁷And Moses^H4872' father in law^H2859 said^H559 unto him, The thing^H1697 that thou doest^H6213 is not good^H2896.¹⁸Thou 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.¹⁹Hearken^H8085 now unto my voice^H6963, I will give thee counsel^H3289, and God^H430 shall be^H1961 with thee: Be thou for the people^H5971 to God-ward^{H4136 H430}, that thou mayest bring^H935 the causes^H1697 unto God^H430:²⁰And thou shalt teach^{H2094 H853} them 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^H6213.²¹Moreover thou shalt provide^H2372 out of all the people^H5971 able^H2428 men^H582, such as fear^H3373 God^H430, men^H582 of truth^H571, hating^H8130 covetousness^H1215; and place^H7760 such over them, to be rulers^H8269 of thousands^H505, and rulers^H8269 of hundreds^H3967, rulers^H8269 of fifties^H2572, and rulers^H8269 of tens^H6235:²²And let them judge^H8199 the people^H5971 at all seasons^H6256: and it shall be, that every great^H1419 matter^H1697 they shall bring^H935 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.²³If thou shalt do^H6213 this thing^H1697, and God^H430 command^H6680 thee so, then thou shalt be able^H3201 to endure^H5975, and all this people^H5971 shall also go^H935 to their place^H4725 in peace^H7965.²⁴So Moses^H4872 hearkened^H8085 to the voice^H6963 of his father in law^H2859, and did^H6213 all that he had said^H559.²⁵And Moses^H4872 chose^H977 able^H2428 men^H582 out of all Israel^H3478, and made^H5414 them heads^H7218 over the people^H5971, rulers^H8269 of thousands^H505, rulers^H8269 of hundreds^H3967, rulers^H8269 of fifties^H2572, and rulers^H8269 of tens^H6235.²⁶And they judged^H8199 the people^H5971 at all seasons^H6256: the hard^H7186 causes^H1697 they brought^H935 unto Moses^H4872, but every small^H6996 matter^{H1697 H1992} they judged^H8199 themselves.

²⁷And Moses^H4872 let his father in law^H2859 depart^H7971; and he went^H3212 his way into his own land^H776.
