Exodus 18:4-14 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

4. --and the name of the other, Eliezer--For the God of my father has been my help, and has delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.

5. And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came to Moses with his sons and his wife into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mountain of God

6. And he sent word to Moses: I, thy father-in-law Jethro, am come to thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.

7. And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other after their welfare, and went into the tent.

8. And Moses told his father-in-law all that Jehovah had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake; all the trouble that had befallen them on the way, and how Jehovah had delivered them.

9. And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness that Jehovah had done to Israel; that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.

10. And Jethro said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

11. Now I know that Jehovah is greater than all gods; for in the thing in which they acted haughtily he was above them.

12. 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 in the presence of God

13. And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people; and the people stood by Moses from the morning to the evening.

14. And Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did with the people, and said, What is this thing which thou art doing with the people? why dost thou sit alone, and all the people are standing by thee from morning to evening?
