02:018:004 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: 

02:018:005 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: 

02:018:006 And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come
           unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.

02:018:007 And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did
           obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their
           welfare; and they came into the tent.

02:018:008 And Moses told his father in law all that the lord had done
           unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, and all
           the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the
           lord delivered them.

02:018:009 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the lord had
           done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the
           Egyptians.

02:018:010 And Jethro said, Blessed be the lord, who hath delivered you
           out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of
           Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of
           the Egyptians.

02:018:011 Now I know that the lord is greater than all gods:  for in the
           thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.

02:018:012 And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took a burnt offering and
           sacrifices for God:  and Aaron came, and all the elders of
           Israel, to eat bread with Moses’ father in law before God.

02:018:013 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.

02:018:014 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?

02:018:015 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come
           unto me to enquire of God: 

02:018:016 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.

02:018:017 And Moses’ father in law said unto him, The thing that thou
           doest is not good.

02:018:018 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.

02:018:019 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:
