New King James Version

Exodus 18:10-14 New King James Version (NKJV)

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

11. Now I know that the Lord is greater than all the gods; for in the very thing in which they behaved proudly, He was above them.”

12. Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took a burnt offering and other sacrifices to offer to God. And Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law before God.

13. And so it was, on the next day, that Moses sat to judge the people; and the people stood before Moses from morning until evening.

14. So when Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he did for the people, he said, “What is this thing that you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit, and all the people stand before you from morning until evening?”
