12 Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took a burnt aoffering and other sacrifices to offer to God. And Aaron came with all the elders of Israel bto eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law before God.
13 And so it was, on the next day, that Moses asat to judge the people; and the people stood before Moses from morning until evening.
14 So when Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he did for the people, he said, “What is this thing that you are doing for the people? Why do you alone1 sit, and all the people stand before you from morning until evening?”
15 And Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because athe people come to me to inquire of God.
16 When they have aa difficulty, they come to me, and I judge between one and another; and I make known the statutes of God and His laws.”
17 So Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “The thing that you do is not good.
18 Both you and these people who are with you will surely wear yourselves out. For this thing is too much for you; ayou are not able to perform it by yourself.
19 Listen now to my voice; I will give you1 counsel, and God will be with you: Stand abefore God for the people, so that you may bbring the difficulties to God.
