Now I know that the LORD is
greater than all gods, for because that they dealt proudly with
them. And Iethro Moses' father-in-law offered burnt offerings and
sacrifices unto God. And Aaron and all the elders of Israel came
to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God. And it chanced
on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people
stood about Moses from morning unto evening. When his father-in-
law saw all that he did unto the people, he said: what is this
that thou doest unto the people? why sittest thou thyself and
lettest all the people stond about thee from morning unto even?
And Moses said unto his father-in-law: because the people came
unto me to seek counsel, {councell} of God. For when they have a
matter, they come unto me, and I must judge between every man and
his neighbour, and must shew them the ordinances of God and his
laws. And his father-in-law said unto him: it is not well that
thou doest. Thou doest unwisely and also this people that is with
thee: because the thing is too grievous for thee, and thou art not
able to do it thy self alone. But hear my voice, and I will give
thee counsel, {councell} and God shall be with thee. Be thou unto
the people to Godward, and bring the causes unto God and provide
them ordinances and laws, and shew them the way wherein they must
walk and the works that they must do.
