9. And Jethro rejoiced for all the good things that the Lord had done to Israel, because he had delivered them out of the hands of the Egyptians.
10. And he said: Blessed is the Lord, who hath delivered you out of the hand of Pharao, and out of the hand of the Egyptians, who hath delivered his people out of the hand of Egypt.
11. Now I know that the Lord is great above all gods: because they dealt proudly against them.
12. So Jethro the kinsman of Moses offered holocausts and sacrifices to God: and Aaron and all the ancients of Israel came, to eat bread with them before God.
13. And the next day Moses sat, to judge the people, who stood by Moses from morning until night.
14. And when his kinsman had seen all things that he did among the people, he said: What is it that thou dost among the people? Why sittest thou alone, and all the people wait from morning till night.
15. And Moses answered him: The people come to me to seek the judgment of God.
16. And when any controversy falleth out among them, they come to me to judge between them, and to shew the precepts of God, and his laws.
17. But he said: The thing thou dost is not good.
