10. Jethro said, “Praise the Lord. He has saved all of you from the Egyptians and their king. He has saved the people from the power of the Egyptians.
11. Now I know the Lord is greater than all gods. He did this to those who looked down on Israel.”
12. Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, gave a whole burnt offering and other sacrifices to God. Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to Moses’ father-in-law. They ate the holy meal together before God.
13. The next day Moses solved disagreements among the people. So the people stood around Moses from morning until night.
14. Moses’ father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people. He asked, “What is all this you are doing for the people? Why are you the only one to solve disagreements? All the people are standing around you from morning until night!”
15. Then Moses said to his father-in-law, “It is because the people come to me for God’s help in solving their disagreements.
16. When people have a disagreement, they come to me. I decide who is right. And I tell them God’s laws and teachings.”
17. Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “You are not doing this right.
18. You and the people who come to you will get too tired. This is too much work for you. You can’t do it by yourself.
