When JethroH3503, the priestH3548 of MidianH4080, Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859, heardH8085 of all that GodH430 had doneH6213 for MosesH4872, and for IsraelH3478 his peopleH5971, and that the LORDH3068 had broughtH3318 IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714;
Then JethroH3503, Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859, tookH3947 ZipporahH6855, Moses'H4872 wifeH802, afterH310 he had sent her backH7964,
And her twoH8147 sonsH1121; of which the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was GershomH1647; for he saidH559, I have been an alienH1616 in a strangeH5237 landH776: {Gershom: that is A stranger there}
And the nameH8034 of the otherH259 was EliezerH461; for the GodH430 of my fatherH1, said he, was mine helpH5828, and deliveredH5337 me from the swordH2719 of PharaohH6547: {Eliezer: that is, My God is an help}
And JethroH3503, Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859, cameH935 with his sonsH1121 and his wifeH802 unto MosesH4872 into the wildernessH4057, where he encampedH2583 at the mountH2022 of GodH430:
And he saidH559 unto MosesH4872, I thy father in lawH2859 JethroH3503 am comeH935 unto thee, and thy wifeH802, and her twoH8147 sonsH1121 with her.
And MosesH4872 went outH3318 to meetH7125 his father in lawH2859, and did obeisanceH7812, and kissedH5401 him; and they askedH7592 eachH376 otherH7453 of their welfareH7965; and they cameH935 into the tentH168. {welfare: Heb. peace}
And MosesH4872 toldH5608 his father in lawH2859 all that the LORDH3068 had doneH6213 unto PharaohH6547 and to the EgyptiansH4714 for Israel'sH3478 sakeH182, and all the travailH8513 that had comeH4672 upon them by the wayH1870, and how the LORDH3068 deliveredH5337 them. {come…: Heb. found them}
And JethroH3503 rejoicedH2302 for all the goodnessH2896 which the LORDH3068 had doneH6213 to IsraelH3478, whom he had deliveredH5337 out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714.
And JethroH3503 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, who hath deliveredH5337 you out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and out of the handH3027 of PharaohH6547, who hath deliveredH5337 the peopleH5971 from under the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714.
Now I knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 is greaterH1419 than all godsH430: for in the thingH1697 wherein they dealt proudlyH2102 he was above them.
And JethroH3503, Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859, tookH3947 a burnt offeringH5930 and sacrificesH2077 for GodH430: and AaronH175 cameH935, and all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, to eatH398 breadH3899 with Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859 beforeH6440 GodH430.
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that MosesH4872 satH3427 to judgeH8199 the peopleH5971: and the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 by MosesH4872 from the morningH1242 unto the eveningH6153.
And when Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859 sawH7200 all that he didH6213 to the peopleH5971, he saidH559, What is this thingH1697 that thou doestH6213 to the peopleH5971? why sittestH3427 thou thyself alone, and all the peopleH5971 standH5324 by thee from morningH1242 unto evenH6153?
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto his father in lawH2859, Because the peopleH5971 comeH935 unto me to enquireH1875 of GodH430:
When they have a matterH1697, they comeH935 unto me; and I judgeH8199 between oneH376 and anotherH7453, and I do make them knowH3045 the statutesH2706 of GodH430, and his lawsH8451. {one…: Heb. a man and his fellow}
And Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859 saidH559 unto him, The thingH1697 that thou doestH6213 is not goodH2896.
Thou wilt surelyH5034 wear awayH5034, both thou, and this peopleH5971 that is with thee: for this thingH1697 is too heavyH3515 for thee; thou art not ableH3201 to performH6213 it thyself alone. {Thou wilt…: Heb. Fading thou wilt fade}
HearkenH8085 now unto my voiceH6963, I will give thee counselH3289, and GodH430 shall beH1961 with thee: Be thou for the peopleH5971 to God-wardH4136+H430, that thou mayest bringH935 the causesH1697 unto GodH430:
And thou shalt teachH2094+H853 them ordinancesH2706 and lawsH8451, and shalt shewH3045 them the wayH1870 wherein they must walkH3212, and the workH4639 that they must doH6213.
Moreover thou shalt provideH2372 out of all the peopleH5971 ableH2428 menH582, such as fearH3373 GodH430, menH582 of truthH571, hatingH8130 covetousnessH1215; and placeH7760 such over them, to be rulersH8269 of thousandsH505, and rulersH8269 of hundredsH3967, rulersH8269 of fiftiesH2572, and rulersH8269 of tensH6235:
And let them judgeH8199 the peopleH5971 at all seasonsH6256: and it shall be, that every greatH1419 matterH1697 they shall bringH935 unto thee, but every smallH6996 matterH1697 they shall judgeH8199: so shall it be easierH7043 for thyself, and they shall bearH5375 the burden with thee.
If thou shalt doH6213 this thingH1697, and GodH430 commandH6680 thee so, then thou shalt be ableH3201 to endureH5975, and all this peopleH5971 shall also goH935 to their placeH4725 in peaceH7965.
So MosesH4872 hearkenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of his father in lawH2859, and didH6213 all that he had saidH559.
And MosesH4872 choseH977 ableH2428 menH582 out of all IsraelH3478, and madeH5414 them headsH7218 over the peopleH5971, rulersH8269 of thousandsH505, rulersH8269 of hundredsH3967, rulersH8269 of fiftiesH2572, and rulersH8269 of tensH6235.
And they judgedH8199 the peopleH5971 at all seasonsH6256: the hardH7186 causesH1697 they broughtH935 unto MosesH4872, but every smallH6996 matterH1697+H1992 they judgedH8199 themselves.
And MosesH4872 let his father in lawH2859 departH7971; and he wentH3212 his way into his own landH776.

Now the priestH3548 of MidianH4080 had sevenH7651 daughtersH1323: and they cameH935 and drewH1802 water, and filledH4390 the troughsH7298 to waterH8248 their father'sH1 flockH6629. {priest: or, prince}
My soulH5315 shall make her boastH1984 in the LORDH3068: the humbleH6035 shall hearH8085 thereof, and be gladH8055.
ThisG5126 MosesG3475 whomG3739 they refusedG720, sayingG2036, WhoG5101 madeG2525 theeG4571 a rulerG758 andG2532 a judgeG1348? the sameG5126 did GodG2316 sendG649 to be a rulerG758 andG2532 a delivererG3086 byG1722 the handG5495 of the angelG32 whichG3588 appearedG3700 to himG846 inG1722 the bushG942.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, SeeH7200, I have madeH5414 thee a godH430 to PharaohH6547: and AaronH175 thy brotherH251 shall be thy prophetH5030.
Thou shalt speakH1696 all that I commandH6680 thee: and AaronH175 thy brotherH251 shall speakH1696 unto PharaohH6547, that he sendH7971 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of his landH776.
And I will hardenH7185 Pharaoh'sH6547 heartH3820, and multiplyH7235 my signsH226 and my wondersH4159 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
But PharaohH6547 shall not hearkenH8085 unto you, that I may layH5414 my handH3027 upon EgyptH4714, and bring forthH3318 mine armiesH6635, and my peopleH5971 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 by greatH1419 judgmentsH8201.
And the EgyptiansH4714 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I stretch forthH5186 mine handH3027 upon EgyptH4714, and bring outH3318 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 from amongH8432 them.
And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 didH6213 as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 them, so didH6213 they.
And MosesH4872 was fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141 oldH1121, and AaronH175 fourscoreH8084 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121, when they spakeH1696 unto PharaohH6547.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH559 unto MosesH4872 and unto AaronH175, sayingH559,
When PharaohH6547 shall speakH1696 unto you, sayingH559, ShewH5414 a miracleH4159 for you: then thou shalt sayH559 unto AaronH175, TakeH3947 thy rodH4294, and castH7993 it beforeH6440 PharaohH6547, and it shall become a serpentH8577.
And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 went inH935 unto PharaohH6547, and they didH6213 so as the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680: and AaronH175 cast downH7993 his rodH4294 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547, and beforeH6440 his servantsH5650, and it became a serpentH8577.
Then PharaohH6547 also calledH7121 the wise menH2450 and the sorcerersH3784: now the magiciansH2748 of EgyptH4714, they also didH6213 in like mannerH3651 with their enchantmentsH3858.
For they cast downH7993 every manH376 his rodH4294, and they became serpentsH8577: but Aaron'sH175 rodH4294 swallowed upH1104 their rodsH4294.
And he hardenedH2388 Pharaoh'sH6547 heartH3820, that he hearkenedH8085 not unto them; as the LORDH3068 had saidH1696.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Pharaoh'sH6547 heartH3820 is hardenedH3515, he refusethH3985 to let the peopleH5971 goH7971.
GetH3212 thee unto PharaohH6547 in the morningH1242; lo, he goeth outH3318 unto the waterH4325; and thou shalt standH5324 by the river'sH2975 brinkH8193 against he comeH7125; and the rodH4294 which was turnedH2015 to a serpentH5175 shalt thou takeH3947 in thine handH3027.
And MosesH4872 was contentH2974 to dwellH3427 with the manH376: and he gaveH5414 MosesH4872 ZipporahH6855 his daughterH1323.
To the chief MusicianH5329 for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141, MaschilH4905. We have heardH8085 with our earsH241, O GodH430, our fathersH1 have toldH5608 us, what workH6467 thou didstH6466 in their daysH3117, in the timesH3117 of oldH6924.
HeG3778 broughtG1806 themG846 outG1806, after that he had shewedG4160 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592 inG1722 the landG1093 of EgyptG125, andG2532 inG1722 the RedG2063 seaG2281, andG2532 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 fortyG5062 yearsG2094.
For we have heardH8085 how the LORDH3068 dried upH3001 the waterH4325 of the RedH5488 seaH3220 for youH6440, when ye came outH3318 of EgyptH4714; and what ye didH6213 unto the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, that were on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383, SihonH5511 and OgH5747, whom ye utterly destroyedH2763.
Now MosesH4872 keptH1961+H7462 the flockH6629 of JethroH3503 his father in lawH2859, the priestH3548 of MidianH4080: and he ledH5090 the flockH6629 to the backsideH310 of the desertH4057, and cameH935 to the mountainH2022 of GodH430, even to HorebH2722.
Thou art the GodH410 that doestH6213 wondersH6382: thou hast declaredH3045 thy strengthH5797 among the peopleH5971.
AndG1161 when they were comeG3854, andG2532 had gatheredG4863 the churchG1577 togetherG4863, they rehearsedG312 allG3745 that GodG2316 had doneG4160 withG3326 themG846, andG2532 howG3754 he had openedG455 the doorG2374 of faithG4102 unto the GentilesG1484.
And they saidH559 unto him, From a veryH3966 farH7350 countryH776 thy servantsH5650 are comeH935 because of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: for we have heardH8085 the fameH8089 of him, and all that he didH6213 in EgyptH4714,
And MosesH4872 wentH3212 and returnedH7725 to JethroH3500 his father in lawH2859, and saidH559 unto him, Let me goH3212, I pray thee, and returnH7725 unto my brethrenH251 which are in EgyptH4714, and seeH7200 whether they be yetH5750 aliveH2416. And JethroH3503 saidH559 to MosesH4872, GoH3212 in peaceH7965. {Jethro: Heb. Jether}
Thou hast with thine armH2220 redeemedH1350 thy peopleH5971, the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 and JosephH3130. SelahH5542.
ThenG1161 allG3956 the multitudeG4128 kept silenceG4601, andG2532 gave audienceG191 to BarnabasG921 andG2532 PaulG3972, declaringG1834 whatG3745 miraclesG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059 GodG2316 had wroughtG4160 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 byG1223 themG846.
And shewedstH5414 signsH226 and wondersH4159 upon PharaohH6547, and on all his servantsH5650, and on all the peopleH5971 of his landH776: for thou knewestH3045 that they dealt proudlyH2102 against them. So didst thou getH6213 thee a nameH8034, as it is this dayH3117.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto HobabH2246, the sonH1121 of RaguelH7467 the MidianiteH4084, Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859, We are journeyingH5265 unto the placeH4725 of which the LORDH3068 saidH559, I will giveH5414 it you: comeH3212 thou with us, and we will do thee goodH2895: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 goodH2896 concerning IsraelH3478.
We will not hideH3582 them from their childrenH1121, shewingH5608 to the generationH1755 to comeH314 the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068, and his strengthH5807, and his wonderful worksH6381 that he hath doneH6213.
AndG2532 when he had salutedG782 themG846, he declaredG1834 particularlyG2596+G1520+G1538 what thingsG3739 GodG2316 had wroughtG4160 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 byG1223 hisG846 ministryG1248.
And thou didst divideH1234 the seaH3220 beforeH6440 them, so that they went throughH5674 the midstH8432 of the seaH3220 on the dry landH3004; and their persecutorsH7291 thou threwestH7993 into the deepsH4688, as a stoneH68 into the mightyH5794 watersH4325.
Now HeberH2268 the KeniteH7017, which was of the childrenH1121 of HobabH2246 the father in lawH2859 of MosesH4872, had severedH6504 himself from the KenitesH7017, and pitchedH5186 his tentH168 unto the plainH436 of ZaanaimH6815, which is by KedeshH6943.
RememberH2142 his marvellous worksH6381 that he hath doneH6213; his wondersH4159, and the judgmentsH4941 of his mouthH6310;
AndG1161 when they heardG191 it, they glorifiedG1392 the LordG2962, andG5037 saidG2036 unto himG846, Thou seestG2334, brotherG80, how manyG4214 thousandsG3461 of JewsG2453 there areG1526 whichG3588 believeG4100; andG2532 they areG5225 allG3956 zealousG2207 of the lawG3551:
Thou art the GodH410 that doestH6213 wondersH6382: thou hast declaredH3045 thy strengthH5797 among the peopleH5971.
And he brought forthH3318 his peopleH5971 with joyH8342, and his chosenH972 with gladnessH7440: {gladness: Heb. singing}
ForG1063 I willG5111 notG3756 dareG5111 to speakG2980 of anyG5100 of those things whichG3739 ChristG5547 hathG2716 notG3756 wroughtG2716 byG1223 meG1700, to makeG1519 the GentilesG1484 obedientG5218, by wordG3056 andG2532 deedG2041,
Thou hast with thine armH2220 redeemedH1350 thy peopleH5971, the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 and JosephH3130. SelahH5542.
Who can utterH4448 the mighty actsH1369 of the LORDH3068? who can shew forthH8085 all his praiseH8416?
He madeH6424 a wayH5410 to his angerH639; he sparedH2820 not their soulH5315 from deathH4194, but gaveH5462 their lifeH2416 overH5462 to the pestilenceH1698; {He made…: Heb. He weighed a path} {life…: or, beasts to the murrain}
And smoteH5221 all the firstbornH1060 in EgyptH4714; the chiefH7225 of their strengthH202 in the tabernaclesH168 of HamH2526:
But made his own peopleH5971 to go forthH5265 like sheepH6629, and guidedH5090 them in the wildernessH4057 like a flockH5739.
And he ledH5148 them on safelyH983, so that they fearedH6342 not: but the seaH3220 overwhelmedH3680 their enemiesH341. {overwhelmed: Heb. covered}
Nevertheless he savedH3467 them for his name'sH8034 sake, that he might make his mighty powerH1369 to be knownH3045.
He smoteH5221 also all the firstbornH1060 in their landH776, the chiefH7225 of all their strengthH202.
He brought them forthH3318 also with silverH3701 and goldH2091: and there was not one feebleH3782 person among their tribesH7626.
EgyptH4714 was gladH8055 when they departedH3318: for the fearH6343 of them fellH5307 upon them.
He spreadH6566 a cloudH6051 for a coveringH4539; and fireH784 to give lightH215 in the nightH3915.
The people askedH7592, and he broughtH935 quailsH7958, and satisfiedH7646 them with the breadH3899 of heavenH8064.
He openedH6605 the rockH6697, and the watersH4325 gushed outH2100; they ranH1980 in the dry placesH6723 like a riverH5104.
And it shall be to me a nameH8034 of joyH8342, a praiseH8416 and an honourH8597 before all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776, which shall hearH8085 all the goodH2896 that I doH6213 unto them: and they shall fearH6342 and trembleH7264 for all the goodnessH2896 and for all the prosperityH7965 that I procureH6213 unto it.
Nevertheless he savedH3467 them for his name'sH8034 sake, that he might make his mighty powerH1369 to be knownH3045.
He rebukedH1605 the RedH5488 seaH3220 also, and it was dried upH2717: so he ledH3212 them through the depthsH8415, as through the wildernessH4057.
And he savedH3467 them from the handH3027 of him that hatedH8130 them, and redeemedH1350 them from the handH3027 of the enemyH341.
And the watersH4325 coveredH3680 their enemiesH6862: there was not oneH259 of them leftH3498.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; In those daysH3117 it shall come to pass, that tenH6235 menH582 shall take holdH2388 out of all languagesH3956 of the nationsH1471, even shall take holdH2388 of the skirtH3671 of him that is a JewH376+H3064, sayingH559, We will goH3212 with you: for we have heardH8085 that GodH430 is with you.
To him that smoteH5221 EgyptH4714 in their firstbornH1060: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769:
And brought outH3318 IsraelH3478 from amongH8432 them: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769:
With a strongH2389 handH3027, and with a stretched outH5186 armH2220: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
To him which dividedH1504 the RedH5488 seaH3220 into partsH1506: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769:
And made IsraelH3478 to pass throughH5674 the midstH8432 of it: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769:
But overthrewH5287 PharaohH6547 and his hostH2428 in the RedH5488 seaH3220: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769. {overthrew: Heb. shaked off}
To him which ledH3212 his peopleH5971 through the wildernessH4057: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
ButG1161 they hadG2258 heardG191 onlyG3440, ThatG3754 he which persecutedG1377 usG2248 in times pastG4218 nowG3568 preachethG2097 the faithG4102 whichG3739 onceG4218 he destroyedG4199.
Then he rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH5769, MosesH4872, and his peopleH5971, saying, Where is he that brought them upH5927 out of the seaH3220 with the shepherdH7462 of his flockH6629? where is he that putH7760 his holyH6944 SpiritH7307 withinH7130 him? {shepherd: or, shepherds}
That ledH3212 them by the right handH3225 of MosesH4872 with his gloriousH8597 armH2220, dividingH1234 the waterH4325 beforeH6440 them, to makeH6213 himself an everlastingH5769 nameH8034?
That ledH3212 them through the deepH8415, as an horseH5483 in the wildernessH4057, that they should not stumbleH3782?
