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.
