02:018:020 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.
02:018:021 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:
02:018:022 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.
02:018:023 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.
02:018:024 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his
father in law, and did
all
that he had said.
02:018:025 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.
02:018:026 And they judged the people at all seasons:
the hard causes
they
brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged
themselves.
02:018:027 And Moses let his father in law depart;
and he went his way
into
his own land.
02:019:001 In the third month, when the children of
Israel were gone
forth
out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into
the
wilderness of Sinai.
02:019:002 For they were departed from Rephidim, and
were come to the
desert
of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there
Israel
camped before the mount.
02:019:003 And Moses went up unto God, and the lord
called unto him out
of
the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house
of
Jacob,
and tell the children of Israel;
02:019:004 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians,
and how I bare you
on
eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.
02:019:005 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice
indeed, and keep my
covenant,
then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above
all
people: for all the earth is mine:
02:019:006 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests,
and an holy
nation.
These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the
children
of Israel.
02:019:007 And Moses came and called for the elders
of the people, and
laid
before their faces all these words which the lord
commanded
him.
02:019:008 And all the people answered together, and
said, All that the
lord
hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the
words of
the
people unto the lord.
