rotherham@Exodus:18:15 @ And Moses said to his father-in-law, Because the people come in unto me to seek God:

rotherham@Exodus:18:16 @ When they have a matter, they come in unto me, then do I judge between a man and his neighbour, and make known the statutes of God and his laws.

rotherham@Exodus:18:17 @ Then said Moses father-in-law unto him, Not good, is the thing that thou art doing.

rotherham@Exodus:18:18 @ Thou wilt get quite worn out, both thou and this people that is with thee, for the thing is too heavy for thee, thou canst not do it, alone.

rotherham@Exodus:18:19 @ Now, hearken thou to my voicelet me counsel thee, and may God be with thee: Be, thou, for the people, in front of God, so shalt, thou, bring the matters unto God;

rotherham@Exodus:18:20 @ and shalt cause to shine upon them, the statutes and the laws, and make known to them the way wherein they should go, and the work they should do.
