12 Jethro offered sacrifices to God. Then Aaron and Israel's leaders came to eat with Jethro there at the place of worship.
13 The next morning Moses sat down at the place where he decided legal cases for the people, and everyone crowded around him until evening.
14 Jethro saw how much Moses had to do for the people, and he asked, “Why are you the only judge? Why do you let these people crowd around you from morning till evening?”
15 Moses answered, “Because they come here to find out what God wants them to do.

17 Jethro replied:That isn't the best way to do it.
