Exodus 18:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, offered a burnt offering and sacrificed to God. Aaron and all the elders of Israel came and ate a banquet with the father-in-law of Moses before God.

¹³ Moses Institutes the Judges.^[a] The next day Moses sat in judgment over the people of Israel. All the people stood before Moses from morning until the evening. ¹⁴ Jethro, seeing what he was doing for the people, said to him, “What is this that you do for the people? Why do you sit in judgment alone, while the people stand before you from morning until evening?”
