Exodus 18:15-20 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

15. And Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to seek God.

16. When they have an issue, it comes to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make known God’s rule and his instructions.”

17. And the father-in-law of Moses said to him, “The thing that you are doing is not good.

18. Surely you will wear out, both you and this people who are with you, because the thing is too difficult for you. You are not able to do it alone.

19. Now listen to my voice; I will advise you, and may God be with you. You be for the people before God, and you bring the issues to God.

20. And you warn them of the rules and the instructions, and you make known to them the way in which they must walk and the work that they must do.
