Ex 18, 1-27

1 "When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt; " 2 Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back, 3 "And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an foreigner in a strange land: " 4 "And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh: " 5 And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God: 6 And he said unto Moses, I your father in law Jethro am come unto you, and your wife, and her two sons with her. 7 "And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did reverence, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent. " 8 And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them. 9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians. 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, who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. 11 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly 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 before God. 13 And it came to pass on the next day, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening. 14 And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that you do to the people? why sit you yourself alone, and all the people stand by you from morning unto even? 15 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God: 16 "When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws. " 17 And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that you do is not good. 18 "You will surely wear away, both you, and this people that is with you: for this thing is too heavy for you; you are not able to perform it yourself alone. " 19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give you counsel, and God shall be with you: Be you for the people toward God, that you may bring the causes unto God: 20 And you shall teach them ordinances and laws, and shall show them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do. 21 "Moreover you shall provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: " 22 And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto you, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for yourself, and they shall bear the burden with you. 23 If you shall do this thing, and God command you so, then you shall be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace. 24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said. 25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 26 And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves. 27 "And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land. "

Verš 11

Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.

Ex 1:10 - "Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falls out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land. "

Ex 1:16 - "And he said, When all of you do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then all of you shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. "

Ex 1:22 - And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born all of you shall cast into the river, and every daughter all of you shall keep alive.

Ex 5:7 - All of you shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as in time past: let them go and gather straw for themselves.

Ex 14:18 - And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have got me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

Verš 1

"When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt; "

Ex 2:16 - Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

Ex 3:1 - Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

Verš 3

"And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an foreigner in a strange land: "

Ex 2:22 - And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.

Verš 24

So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.

Dt 1:9 - And I spoke unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:

Ex 18,2 - Jediná zmienka, že Mojžiš zanechal svoju ženu a deti u svojho tesťa, keď odchádzal do Egypta (4,20). O Jetrovi pozri 2,18; 3,1.
