Exodus 18:17-20

English Standard Version

¹⁷ Moses' father-in-law said to him, “What you are doing is not good. ¹⁸ You and the people with you will certainly wear yourselves out, for the thing is too heavy for you. ^(A)You are not able to do it alone. ¹⁹ Now obey my voice; I will give you advice, and God be with you! You shall ^(B)represent the people before God and ^(C)bring their cases to God, ²⁰ and you shall warn them about the statutes and the laws, and make them know ^(D)the way in which they must walk and ^(E)what they must do.
