Jethro Returns Home

Exodus 18:27

Showing verse 27 with surrounding context.

Moshe paid attention to his father-in-law's counsel and did everything he said.

Moshe chose competent men from all Isra'el and made them heads over the people, in charge of thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.

As a general rule, they settled the people's disputes - the difficult cases they brought to Moshe, but every simple matter they decided themselves.

Then Moshe let his father-in-law leave, and he went off to his own country.
