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.

AndG2532 I beheldG1492, andG2532 I heardG191 the voiceG5456 of manyG4183 angelsG32 round aboutG2943 the throneG2362 andG2532 the beastsG2226 andG2532 the eldersG4245: andG2532 the numberG706 of themG846 wasG2258 ten thousandG3461 times ten thousandG3461, andG2532 thousandsG5505 of thousandsG5505;
SayingG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, WorthyG514 isG2076 the LambG721 that was slainG4969 to receiveG2983 powerG1411, andG2532 richesG4149, andG2532 wisdomG4678, andG2532 strengthG2479, andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 gloryG1391, andG2532 blessingG2129.
AndG2532 everyG3956 creatureG2938 whichG3739 isG2076 inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 onG1722 the earthG1093, andG2532 underG5270 the earthG1093, andG2532 such asG3739 areG2076 inG1909 the seaG2281, andG2532 allG3956 that are inG1722 themG846, heard IG191 sayingG3004, BlessingG2129, andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 gloryG1391, andG2532 powerG2904, be unto him that sittethG2521 uponG1909 the throneG2362, andG2532 unto the LambG721 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
AndG2532 afterG3326 these thingsG5023 I heardG191 a greatG3173 voiceG5456 of muchG4183 peopleG3793 inG1722 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, AlleluiaG239; SalvationG4991, andG2532 gloryG1391, andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 powerG1411, unto the LordG2962 ourG2257 GodG2316:
ForG3754 trueG228 andG2532 righteousG1342 are hisG846 judgmentsG2920: forG3754 he hath judgedG2919 the greatG3173 whoreG4204, whichG3748 did corruptG5351 the earthG1093 withG1722 herG846 fornicationG4202, andG2532 hath avengedG1556 the bloodG129 of hisG846 servantsG1401 atG1537 herG846 handG5495.
AndG2532 againG1208 they saidG2046, AlleluiaG239. AndG2532 herG846 smokeG2586 rose upG305 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
AndG2532 the fourG5064 andG2532 twentyG1501 eldersG4245 andG2532 the fourG5064 beastsG2226 fell downG4098 andG2532 worshippedG4352 GodG2316 that satG2521 onG1909 the throneG2362, sayingG3004, AmenG281; AlleluiaG239.

AndG2532 I heardG191 as it wereG5613 the voiceG5456 of a greatG4183 multitudeG3793, andG2532 asG5613 the voiceG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204, andG2532 asG5613 the voiceG5456 of mightyG2478 thunderingsG1027, sayingG3004, AlleluiaG239: forG3754 the LordG2962 GodG2316 omnipotentG3841 reignethG936.
