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.

Keep thee farH7368 from a falseH8267 matterH1697; and the innocentH5355 and righteousH6662 slayH2026 thou not: for I will not justifyH6663 the wickedH7563.
And when he went outH3318 the secondH8145 dayH3117, behold, twoH8147 menH582 of the HebrewsH5680 stroveH5327 together: and he saidH559 to him that did the wrongH7563, Wherefore smitestH5221 thou thy fellowH7453?
And thou shalt speakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, WhosoeverH376 cursethH3588+H7043 his GodH430 shall bearH5375 his sinH2399.
And he saidH559 unto the eldersH2205, TarryH3427 ye hereH2088 for us, until we come againH7725 unto you: and, behold, AaronH175 and HurH2354 are with you: if anyH4310 manH1167 have any mattersH1697 to doH1167, let him comeH5066 unto them.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, The manH376 shall be surelyH4191 put to deathH4191: all the congregationH5712 shall stoneH7275 him with stonesH68 withoutH2351 the campH4264.
If there arise a matterH1697 too hardH6381 for thee in judgmentH4941, between bloodH1818 and bloodH1818, between pleaH1779 and pleaH1779, and between strokeH5061 and strokeH5061, being mattersH1697 of controversyH7379 within thy gatesH8179: then shalt thou ariseH6965, and get thee upH5927 into the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977;
And thou shalt comeH935 unto the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, and unto the judgeH8199 that shall be in those daysH3117, and enquireH1875; and they shall shewH5046 thee the sentenceH1697 of judgmentH4941:
And thou shalt doH6213 according to the sentenceH6310+H1697, which they of that placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977 shall shewH5046 thee; and thou shalt observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all that they informH3384 thee:
According to the sentenceH6310 of the lawH8451 which they shall teachH3384 thee, and according to the judgmentH4941 which they shall tellH559 thee, thou shalt doH6213: thou shalt not declineH5493 from the sentenceH1697 which they shall shewH5046 thee, to the right handH3225, nor to the leftH8040.
And the manH376 that will doH6213 presumptuouslyH2087, and will not hearkenH8085 unto the priestH3548 that standethH5975 to ministerH8334 there before the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, or unto the judgeH8199, even that manH376 shall dieH4191: and thou shalt put awayH1197 the evilH7451 from IsraelH3478. {and will…: Heb. not to hearken}
And the LORDH3068 spakeH559 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
The daughtersH1323 of ZelophehadH6765 speakH1696 rightH3651: thou shalt surelyH5414 giveH5414 them a possessionH272 of an inheritanceH5159 amongH8432 their father'sH1 brethrenH251; and thou shalt cause the inheritanceH5159 of their fatherH1 to passH5674 unto them.
And thou shalt speakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, If a manH376 dieH4191, and have no sonH1121, then ye shall cause his inheritanceH5159 to passH5674 unto his daughterH1323.
And if he have no daughterH1323, then ye shall giveH5414 his inheritanceH5159 unto his brethrenH251.
And if he have no brethrenH251, then ye shall giveH5414 his inheritanceH5159 unto his father'sH1 brethrenH251.
And if his fatherH1 have no brethrenH251, then ye shall giveH5414 his inheritanceH5159 unto his kinsmanH7607 that is nextH7138 to him of his familyH4940, and he shall possessH3423 it: and it shall be unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 a statuteH2708 of judgmentH4941, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
And AbsalomH53 saidH559 unto him, SeeH7200, thy mattersH1697 are goodH2896 and rightH5228; but there is no man deputed of the kingH4428 to hearH8085 thee. {there…: or, none will hear thee from the king downward}
This is the thingH1697 which the LORDH3068 doth commandH6680 concerning the daughtersH1323 of ZelophehadH6765, sayingH559, Let them marryH802 to whom they thinkH5869 bestH2896; only to the familyH4940 of the tribeH4294 of their fatherH1 shall they marryH802. {marry: Heb. be wives}
So shall not the inheritanceH5159 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 removeH5437 from tribeH4294 to tribeH4294: for every oneH376 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall keepH1692 himself to the inheritanceH5159 of the tribeH4294 of his fathersH1. {keep…: Heb. cleave to the, etc}
And every daughterH1323, that possessethH3423 an inheritanceH5159 in any tribeH4294 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, shall be wifeH802 unto oneH259 of the familyH4940 of the tribeH4294 of her fatherH1, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 may enjoyH3423 every manH376 the inheritanceH5159 of his fathersH1.
Neither shall the inheritanceH5159 removeH5437 from one tribeH4294 to anotherH312 tribeH4294; but every oneH376 of the tribesH4294 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall keepH1692 himself to his own inheritanceH5159.
If I did despiseH3988 the causeH4941 of my manservantH5650 or of my maidservantH519, when they contendedH7379 with me;
BeholdH7200, I have taughtH3925 you statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941, even asH834 the LORDH3068 my GodH430 commandedH6680 me, that ye should doH6213 so inH7130 the landH776 whither ye goH935 to possessH3423 it.
AndG1161 when PaulG3972 was now aboutG3195 to openG455 his mouthG4750, GallioG1058 saidG2036 untoG4314 the JewsG2453, IfG1487+G3303+G3767 it wereG2258 aG5100 matter of wrongG92 orG2228 wickedG4190 lewdnessG4467, OG5599 ye JewsG2453, reasonG2596+G3056 wouldG302 that I should bearG430 with youG5216:
And MosesH4872 calledH7121 all IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto them, HearH8085, O IsraelH3478, the statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 which I speakH1696 in your earsH241 this dayH3117, that ye may learnH3925 them, and keepH8104, and doH6213 them. {keep…: Heb. keep to do them}
ButG1161 ifG1487 it beG2076 a questionG2213 ofG4012 wordsG3056 andG2532 namesG3686, andG2532 ofG2596 yourG5209 lawG3551, look yeG3700+G846 to it; forG1063 IG1473 will beG1014+G1511 noG3756 judgeG2923 of suchG5130 matters.
Now these are the commandmentsH4687, the statutesH2706, and the judgmentsH4941, which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 commandedH6680 to teachH3925 you, that ye might doH6213 them in the landH776 whither ye goH5674 to possessH3423 it: {go: Heb. pass over}
DareG5111 anyG5100 of youG5216, havingG2192 a matterG4229 againstG4314 anotherG2087, go to lawG2919 beforeG1909 the unjustG94, andG2532 notG3780 beforeG1909 the saintsG40?
Moreover as for meH595, God forbidH2486 that I should sinH2398 against the LORDH3068 in ceasingH2308 to prayH6419 for you: but I will teachH3384 you the goodH2896 and the rightH3477 wayH1870: {in: Heb. from}
TeachingG1321 themG846 to observeG5083 all thingsG3956 whatsoeverG3745 I have commandedG1781 youG5213: andG2532, loG2400, IG1473 amG1510 withG3326 youG5216 alwayG3956+G2250, even untoG2193 the endG4930 of the worldG165. AmenG281.
FurthermoreG3063 thenG3767 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, andG2532 exhortG3870 you byG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, that asG2531 ye have receivedG3880 ofG3844 usG2257 howG4459 yeG5209 oughtG1163 to walkG4043 andG2532 to pleaseG700 GodG2316, soG2443 ye would aboundG4052 more and moreG3123. {beseech: or, request} {exhort: or, beseech}
