Exodus Chapter 18:2

Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,

Exodus Chapter 18:3

And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:

Exodus Chapter 18:4

And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:

Exodus Chapter 18:5

And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:

Exodus Chapter 18:6

And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.

Exodus Chapter 18:13

And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.

Exodus Chapter 18:14

And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?

Exodus Chapter 18:15

And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:

Exodus Chapter 18:16

When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.

Exodus Chapter 18:17

And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.

Exodus Chapter 18:18

Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.

Exodus Chapter 18:19

Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:

Exodus Chapter 18:20

And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.

Exodus Chapter 18:21

Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

Exodus Chapter 18:22

And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.

Exodus Chapter 18:23

If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.

Exodus Chapter 18:24

So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.

Exodus Chapter 18:25

And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

Exodus Chapter 18:26

And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

Exodus Chapter 18:27

And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.

And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.

Exodus Chapter 31:12

Exodus Chapter 31:13

Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.

Exodus Chapter 31:14

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
