1: And heardH8085 Jethro,H3503 the priestH3548 of Midian,H4080 father-in-lawH2859 Moses',H4872 -H0853 of allH3605 thatH0834 had doneH6213 GodH0430 for Moses,H4872 for IsraelH3478 His people,H5971 thatH3588 had broughtH3318 YahwehH3068 -H0853 IsraelH3478 out of Egypt.H4714
2: And tookH3947 Jethro,H3503 father-in-lawH2859 Moses'H4872 -H0853 Zipporah,H6855 wifeH0802 Moses',H4872 afterH0310 he had sent her back,H7964
3: and withH0853 twoH8147 her sons-H1121 of whomH0834 the nameH8034 of oneH0259 [was] Gershom,H1647 forH3588 he said,H0559 a strangerH1616 I have beenH1961 in a landH0776 foreign.H5237
4: And the nameH8034 of the [other] oneH0259 [was] Eliezer-H0461 for [he said]H3588 the GodH0430 of my fatherH0001 [was] my help,H5828 and delivered meH5337 from the swordH2719 of Pharaoh.H6547
5: And cameH0935 Jethro,H3503 father-in-law,H2859 Moses'H4872 and with his sonsH1121 and his wife,H0802 toH0413 MosesH4872 inH0413 the wilderness,H4057 whereH0834 heH1931 was encampedH2583 -H8033 at the mountainH2022 of God.H0430
6: And he had saidH0559 toH0413 Moses,H4872 I,H0589 your father-in-lawH2859 Jethro,H3503 am comingH0935 to youH0413 and with your wife,H0802 and twoH8147 her sonsH1121 with her.H5973
7: So went outH3318 MosesH4872 to meetH7125 his father-in-law,H2859 and bowed downH7812 and kissedH5401 and they askedH7592 eachH0376 otherH7453 about [their] well-being-H7965 and they went intoH0935 the tent.H0168
8: And toldH5608 MosesH4872 his father-in-lawH2859 -H0853 allH3605 thatH0834 had doneH6213 YahwehH3068 to PharaohH6547 and to Egypt,H4714 uponH5921 the sakeH0182 of IsraelH3478 --H0853 allH3605 the hardshipH8513 thatH0834 had come upon themH4672 on the way,H1870 and [how] had delivered themH5337 Yahweh.H3068
9: And rejoicedH2302 JethroH3503 forH5921 allH3605 the goodH2896 whichH0834 had doneH6213 YahwehH3068 for Israel,H3478 whomH0834 He had deliveredH5337 out of the handH3027 of Egypt.H4713
10: And saidH0559 Jethro,H3503 Blessed [be]H1288 Yahweh,H3068 whoH0834 has deliveredH5337 youH0853 out of the handH3027 of EgyptH4713 and out of the handH3027 of Pharaoh,H6547 [and] whoH0834 has deliveredH5337 -H0853 the peopleH5971 from underH8478 the handH3027 of Egypt.H4713
11: NowH6258 I knowH3045 thatH3588 [is] greaterH1419 YahwehH3068 than allH3605 the gods-H0430 forH3588 in the very thingH1697 in whichH0834 they behaved proudlyH2102 [He was] above them.H5921
12: And tookH3947 Jethro,H3503 father-in-lawH2859 Moses',H4872 a burnt offeringH5930 and [other] sacrifices [to offer]H2077 to God-H0430 and cameH0935 AaronH0175 and with allH3605 the eldersH2205 of Israel,H3478 to eatH0398 breadH3899 withH5973 father-in-lawH2859 Moses'H4872 beforeH6440 God.H0430
13: And so it wasH1961 on the next day,H4283 that satH3427 MosesH4872 to judgeH8199 -H0853 the people,H5971 and stoodH5975 the peopleH5971 beforeH5921 MosesH4872 fromH4480 morningH1242 untilH5704 evening.H6153
14: So when sawH7200 father-in-lawH2859 Moses'H4872 -H0853 allH3605 thatH0834 heH1931 didH6213 for the people,H5971 and he said,H0559 what [is]H4100 thingH1697 thisH2088 thatH0834 youH0859 are doingH6213 for the people?H5971 whyH4069 youH0859 do sitH3427 aloneH0910 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 standH5324 before youH5921 fromH4480 morningH1242 untilH5704 evening?H6153
15: and saidH0559 MosesH4872 to his father-in-law,H2859 becauseH3588 comeH0935 to meH0413 the peopleH5971 to inquireH1875 of God.H0430
16: WhenH3588 haveH1961 a difficulty,H1697 they comeH0935 to meH0413 and I judgeH8199 betweenH0996 oneH0376 andH0996 another,H7453 and I make knownH3045 -H0853 the statutesH2706 of God,H0430 andH0853 His laws.H8451
17: So saidH0559 father-in-lawH2859 Moses'H4872 to him,H0413 notH3808 [is] goodH2896 the thingH1697 thatH0834 youH0859 do.H6213
18: SurelyH5034 will wear yourselves out,H5034 bothH1571 youH0859 andH1571 people,H5971 thisH2088 who [are]H0834 with you-H5973 forH3588 [is] too muchH3515 for youH4480 this thingH1697 notH3808 you are ableH3201 to perform itH6213 by yourself.H0910
19: NowH6258 ListenH8085 to my voice-H6963 I will give you counsel:H3289 and will beH1961 GodH0430 with youH5973 standH1961 YouH0859 for the peopleH5971 beforeH4136 God,H0430 so that may bringH0935 youH0859 -H0853 the difficultiesH1697 toH0413 God.H0430
20: And you shall teachH2094 themH0853 -H0853 the statutesH2706 andH0853 the laws,H8451 and showH3045 -H0853 the wayH1870 they must walkH1980 andH0853 the workH4639 thatH0834 they must do.H6213
21: Moreover youH0859 shall selectH2372 from allH3605 the peopleH5971 menH0376 able,H2428 [such as] fearH3373 God,H0430 menH0376 of truth,H0571 hatingH8130 covetousness-H1215 and place [such]H7760 over themH5921 [to be] rulersH8269 of thousands,H0505 rulersH8269 of hundreds,H3967 rulersH8269 of fifty,H2572 and rulersH8269 of ten.H6235
22: And let them judgeH8199 -H0853 the peopleH5971 at allH3605 times-H6256 and it will be,H1961 [that] everyH3605 matterH1697 greatH1419 they shall bringH0935 to you,H0413 but everyH3605 matterH1697 smallH6996 shall judgeH8199 they.H1992 So it will be easierH7043 for youH5921 for they will bear [the burden]H5375 with you.H0854
23: IfH0518 -H0853 thingH1697 this,H2088 you doH6213 and [so] commands youH6680 God,H0430 then you will be ableH3201 to endure,H5975 and alsoH1571 allH3605 peopleH5971 thisH2088 toH5921 their placeH4725 will goH0935 in peace.H7965
24: So heededH8085 MosesH4872 the voiceH6963 of his father-in-law,H2859 and didH6213 allH3605 thatH0834 he had said.H0559
25: And choseH0977 MosesH4872 menH0582 ableH2428 out of allH3605 Israel,H3478 and madeH5414 themH0853 headsH7218 overH5921 the people,H5971 rulersH8269 of thousands,H0505 rulersH8269 of hundreds,H3967 rulersH8269 of fifty,H2572 and rulersH8269 of ten.H6235
26: So they judgedH8199 -H0853 the peopleH5971 at allH3605 times-H6256 -H0853 the casesH1697 hardH7186 they broughtH0935 toH0413 Moses,H4872 but everyH3605 caseH1697 smallH6996 judgedH8199 they.H1992
27: And let departH7971 MosesH4872 father-in-lawH0853 his,H2859 and he wentH1980 toH0413 his own land.H0776
