<03478>

were gone forth
<03318> (8800)

Exodus 18:1-27

18:1

When Jethro
<03503>_,

the priest
<03548>

of Midian
<04080>_,

Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

heard
<08085> (8799)

of all that God
<0430>

had done
<06213> (8804)

for Moses
<04872>_,

and for Israel
<03478>

his people
<05971>_,

[and] that the LORD
<03068>

had brought
<03318> (8689)

Israel
<03478>

out of Egypt
<04714>_;

18:2

Then Jethro
<03503>_,

Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

took
<03947> (8799)

Zipporah
<06855>_,

Moses
<04872>_'

wife
<0802>_,

after
<0310>

he had sent her back
<07964>_,

18:3

And her two
<08147>

sons
<01121>_;

of which the name
<08034>

of the one
<0259>

[was] Gershom
<01647>_;

for he said
<0559> (8804)_,

I have been an alien
<01616>

in a strange
<05237>

land
<0776>_:

{Gershom: that is A stranger there}

18:4

And the name
<08034>

of the other
<0259>

[was] Eliezer
<0461>_;

for the God
<0430>

of my father
<01>_,

[said he, was] mine help
<05828>_,

and delivered
<05337> (8686)

me from the sword
<02719>

of Pharaoh
<06547>_:

{Eliezer: that is, My God is an help}

18:5

And Jethro
<03503>_,

Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

came
<0935> (8799)

with his sons
<01121>

and his wife
<0802>

unto Moses
<04872>

into the wilderness
<04057>_,

where he encamped
<02583> (8802)

at the mount
<02022>

of God
<0430>_:

18:6

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

I thy father in law
<02859> (8802)

Jethro
<03503>

am come
<0935> (8802)

unto thee, and thy wife
<0802>_,

and her two
<08147>

sons
<01121>

with her.

18:7

And Moses
<04872>

went out
<03318> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

and did obeisance
<07812> (8691)_,

and kissed
<05401> (8799)

him; and they asked
<07592> (8799)

each
<0376>

other
<07453>

of [their] welfare
<07965>_;

and they came
<0935> (8799)

into the tent
<0168>_.

{welfare: Heb. peace}

18:8

And Moses
<04872>

told
<05608> (8762)

his father in law
<02859> (8802)

all that the LORD
<03068>

had done
<06213> (8804)

unto Pharaoh
<06547>

and to the Egyptians
<04714>

for Israel's
<03478>

sake
<0182>_,

[and] all the travail
<08513>

that had come
<04672> (8804)

upon them by the way
<01870>_,

and [how] the LORD
<03068>

delivered
<05337> (8686)

them. {come...: Heb. found them}

18:9

And Jethro
<03503>

rejoiced
<02302> (8799)

for all the goodness
<02896>

which the LORD
<03068>

had done
<06213> (8804)

to Israel
<03478>_,

whom he had delivered
<05337> (8689)

out of the hand
<03027>

of the Egyptians
<04714>_.

18:10

And Jethro
<03503>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>_,

who hath delivered
<05337> (8689)

you out of the hand
<03027>

of the Egyptians
<04714>_,

and out of the hand
<03027>

of Pharaoh
<06547>_,

who hath delivered
<05337> (8689)

the people
<05971>

from under the hand
<03027>

of the Egyptians
<04714>_.

18:11

Now I know
<03045> (8804)

that the LORD
<03068>

[is] greater
<01419>

than all gods
<0430>_:

for in the thing
<01697>

wherein they dealt proudly
<02102> (8804)

[he was] above them.

18:12

And Jethro
<03503>_,

Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

took
<03947> (8799)

a burnt offering
<05930>

and sacrifices
<02077>

for God
<0430>_:

and Aaron
<0175>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

and all the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>_,

to eat
<0398> (8800)

bread
<03899>

with Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)

before
<06440>

God
<0430>_.

18:13

And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,

that Moses
<04872>

sat
<03427> (8799)

to judge
<08199> (8800)

the people
<05971>_:

and the people
<05971>

stood
<05975> (8799)

by Moses
<04872>

from the morning
<01242>

unto the evening
<06153>_.

18:14

And when Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)

saw
<07200> (8799)

all that he did
<06213> (8802)

to the people
<05971>_,

he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [is] this thing
<01697>

that thou doest
<06213> (8802)

to the people
<05971>_?

why sittest
<03427> (8802)

thou thyself alone, and all the people
<05971>

stand
<05324> (8737)

by thee from morning
<01242>

unto even
<06153>_?

18:15

And Moses
<04872>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

Because the people
<05971>

come
<0935> (8799)

unto me to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of God
<0430>_:

18:16

When they have a matter
<01697>_,

they come
<0935> (8802)

unto me; and I judge
<08199> (8804)

between one
<0376>

and another
<07453>_,

and I do make [them] know
<03045> (8689)

the statutes
<02706>

of God
<0430>_,

and his laws
<08451>_.

{one...: Heb. a man and his fellow}

18:17

And Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, The thing
<01697>

that thou doest
<06213> (8802)

[is] not good
<02896>_.

18:18

Thou wilt surely
<05034> (8800)

wear away
<05034> (8799)_,

both thou, and this people
<05971>

that [is] with thee: for this thing
<01697>

[is] too heavy
<03515>

for thee; thou art not able
<03201> (8799)

to perform
<06213> (8800)

it thyself alone. {Thou wilt...: Heb. Fading thou wilt fade}

18:19

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

now unto my voice
<06963>_,

I will give thee counsel
<03289> (8799)_,

and God
<0430>

shall be
<01961> (8798)

with thee: Be thou for the people
<05971>

to God-ward
<04136> <0430>_,

that thou mayest bring
<0935> (8689)

the causes
<01697>

unto God
<0430>_:

18:20

And thou shalt teach
<02094> (8689) <0853>

them ordinances
<02706>

and laws
<08451>_,

and shalt shew
<03045> (8689)

them the way
<01870>

wherein they must walk
<03212> (8799)_,

and the work
<04639>

that they must do
<06213> (8799)_.

18:21

Moreover thou shalt provide
<02372> (8799)

out of all the people
<05971>

able
<02428>

men
<0582>_,

such as fear
<03373>

God
<0430>_,

men
<0582>

of truth
<0571>_,

hating
<08130> (8802)

covetousness
<01215>_;

and place
<07760> (8804)

[such] over them, [to be] rulers
<08269>

of thousands
<0505>_,

[and] rulers
<08269>

of hundreds
<03967>_,

rulers
<08269>

of fifties
<02572>_,

and rulers
<08269>

of tens
<06235>_:

18:22

And let them judge
<08199> (8804)

the people
<05971>

at all seasons
<06256>_:

and it shall be, [that] every great
<01419>

matter
<01697>

they shall bring
<0935> (8686)

unto thee, but every small
<06996>

matter
<01697>

they shall judge
<08199> (8799)_:

so shall it be easier
<07043> (8685)

for thyself, and they shall bear
<05375> (8804)

[the burden] with thee.

18:23

If thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>_,

and God
<0430>

command
<06680> (8765)

thee [so], then thou shalt be able
<03201> (8804)

to endure
<05975> (8800)_,

and all this people
<05971>

shall also go
<0935> (8799)

to their place
<04725>

in peace
<07965>_.

18:24

So Moses
<04872>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

to the voice
<06963>

of his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

and did
<06213> (8799)

all that he had said
<0559> (8804)_.

18:25

And Moses
<04872>

chose
<0977> (8799)

able
<02428>

men
<0582>

out of all Israel
<03478>_,

and made
<05414> (8799)

them heads
<07218>

over the people
<05971>_,

rulers
<08269>

of thousands
<0505>_,

rulers
<08269>

of hundreds
<03967>_,

rulers
<08269>

of fifties
<02572>_,

and rulers
<08269>

of tens
<06235>_.

18:26

And they judged
<08199> (8804)

the people
<05971>

at all seasons
<06256>_:

the hard
<07186>

causes
<01697>

they brought
<0935> (8686)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

but every small
<06996>

matter
<01697> <01992>

they judged
<08199> (8799)

themselves.

18:27

And Moses
<04872>

let his father in law
<02859> (8802)

depart
<07971> (8762)_;

and he went
<03212> (8799)

his way into his own land
<0776>_.

Exodus 22:1-31

22:1

If a man
<0376>

shall steal
<01589> (8799)

an ox
<07794>_,

or a sheep
<07716>_,

and kill
<02873> (8804)

it, or sell
<04376> (8804)

it; he shall restore
<07999> (8762)

five
<02568>

oxen
<01241>

for an ox
<07794>_,

and four
<0702>

22:2

If a thief
<01590>

be found
<04672> (8735)

breaking up
<04290>_,

and be smitten
<05221> (8717)

that he die
<04191> (8804)_,

[there shall] no blood
<01818>

[be shed] for him.

22:3

If the sun
<08121>

be risen
<02224> (8804)

upon him, [there shall be] blood
<01818>

[shed] for him; [for] he should make full
<07999> (8763)

restitution
<07999> (8762)_;

if he have nothing, then he shall be sold
<04376> (8738)

for his theft
<01591>_.

22:4

If the theft
<01591>

be certainly
<04672> (8736)

found
<04672> (8735)

in his hand
<03027>

alive
<02416>_,

whether it be ox
<07794>_,

or ass
<02543>_,

or sheep
<07716>_;

he shall restore
<07999> (8762)

double
<08147>_.

22:5

If a man
<0376>

shall cause a field
<07704>

or vineyard
<03754>

to be eaten
<01197> (8686)_,

and shall put
<07971> (8765)

in his beast
<01165>_,

and shall feed
<01197> (8765)

in another man's
<0312>

field
<07704>_;

of the best
<04315>

of his own field
<07704>_,

and of the best
<04315>

of his own vineyard
<03754>_,

shall he make restitution
<07999> (8762)_.

22:6

<01430>_,

or the standing corn
<07054>_,

or the field
<07704>_,

be consumed
<0398> (8738)

[therewith]; he that kindled
<01197> (8686)

the fire
<01200>

shall surely
<07999> (8763)

make restitution
<07999> (8762)_.

22:7

If a man
<0376>

shall deliver
<05414> (8799)

unto his neighbour
<07453>

money
<03701>

or stuff
<03627>

to keep
<08104> (8800)_,

and it be stolen
<01589> (8795)

out of the man's
<0376>

house
<01004>_;

if the thief
<01590>

be found
<04672> (8735)_,

let him pay
<07999> (8762)

double
<08147>_.

22:8

If the thief
<01590>

be not
<03808>

found
<04672> (8735)_,

then the master
<01167>

of the house
<01004>

shall be brought

<08008>_,

[or] for any manner of lost thing
<09>_,

which [another] challengeth
<0559> (8799)

to be his, the cause
<01697>

of both parties
<08147>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

before the judges
<0430>_;

[and] whom the judges

to keep
<08104> (8800)_;

and it die
<04191> (8804)_,

or be hurt
<07665> (8738)_,

or driven away
<07617> (8738)_,

no man seeing
<07200> (8802)

[it]:

22:11

[Then] shall an oath
<07621>

of the LORD
<03068>

be between them both
<08147>_,

that he hath not put
<07971> (8804)

his hand
<03027>

unto his neighbour's
<07453>

goods
<04399>_;

and the owner
<01167>

of it shall accept

[thereof], and he shall not make [it] good
<07999> (8762)_.

22:12

And if it be stolen
<01589> (8800) <01589> (8735)

from him, he shall make restitution
<07999> (8762)

unto the owner
<01167>

thereof.

22:13

If it be torn in pieces
<02963> (8800) <02963> (8735)_,

[then] let him bring
<0935> (8686)

it [for] witness
<05707>_,

[and] he shall not make good
<07999> (8762)

that which was torn
<02966>_.

22:14

And if a man
<0376>

borrow
<07592> (8799)

[ought] of his neighbour
<07453>_,

and it be hurt

or die
<04191> (8804)_,

the owner
<01167>

thereof [being] not with it
<05973>_,

he shall surely
<07999> (8763)

make [it] good
<07999> (8762)_.

22:15

[But] if the owner
<01167>

thereof [be] with it, he shall not make [it] good
<07999> (8762)_:

if it [be] an hired
<07916>

[thing], it came
<0935> (8804)

for his hire
<07939>_.

22:16

And if a man
<0376>

entice
<06601> (8762)

a maid
<01330>

that is not betrothed
<0781> (8795)_,

and lie
<07901> (8804)

with her, he shall surely
<04117> (8800)

endow
<04117> (8799)

her to be his wife
<0802>_.

22:17

If her father

her unto him, he shall pay
<08254> (8799)

money
<03701>

according to the dowry
<04119>

of virgins
<01330>_.

{pay: Heb. weigh}

22:18

Thou shalt not suffer a witch
<03784> (8764)

to live
<02421> (8762)_.

22:19

Whosoever lieth
<07901> (8802)

with a beast
<0929>

shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.

22:20

He that sacrificeth
<02076> (8802)

unto [any] god
<0430>_,

save
<01115>

unto the LORD
<03068>

only, he shall be utterly destroyed
<02763> (8714)_.

22:21

Thou shalt neither vex
<03238> (8686)

a stranger
<01616>_,

nor oppress
<03905> (8799)

him: for ye were strangers
<01616>

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

22:22

Ye shall not afflict
<06031> (8762)

any widow
<0490>_,

or fatherless child
<03490>_.

22:23

If
<0518>

thou afflict
<06031> (8762)

them in any wise
<06031> (8763)_,

and they cry
<06817> (8799)

at all
<06817> (8800)

unto me, I will surely
<08085> (8800)

hear
<08085> (8799)

their cry
<06818>_;

22:24

And my wrath
<0639>

shall wax hot
<02734> (8804)_,

and I will kill
<02026> (8804)

you with the sword
<02719>_;

and your wives
<0802>

shall be widows
<0490>_,

and your children
<01121>

fatherless
<03490>_.

22:25

If thou lend
<03867> (8686)

money
<03701>

to [any of] my people
<05971>

[that is] poor
<06041>

by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer
<05383> (8802)_,

neither shalt thou lay
<07760> (8799)

upon him usury
<05392>_.

22:26

If thou at all
<02254> (8800)

take
<02254> (0)

thy neighbour's
<07453>

raiment
<08008>

to pledge
<02254> (8799)_,

thou shalt deliver
<07725> (8686)

it unto him by
<05704>

that the sun
<08121>

goeth down
<0935> (8800)_:

22:27

For that [is] his covering
<03682>

only, it [is] his raiment
<08071>

for his skin
<05785>_:

wherein shall he sleep
<07901> (8799)_?

and it shall come to pass, when he crieth
<06817> (8799)

unto me, that I will hear
<08085> (8804)_;

for I [am] gracious
<02587>_.

22:28

Thou shalt not revile
<07043> (8762)

the gods
<0430>_,

nor curse
<0779> (8799)

the ruler
<05387>

of thy people
<05971>_.

{gods: or, judges}

22:29

Thou shalt not delay
<0309> (8762)

[to offer] the first of thy ripe fruits
<04395>_,

and of thy liquors
<01831>_:

the firstborn
<01060>

of thy sons
<01121>

shalt thou give
<05414> (8799)

unto me. {the first...: Heb. thy fulness} {liquors: Heb. tear}

22:30

Likewise
<03651>

shalt thou do
<06213> (8799)

with thine oxen
<07794>_,

[and] with thy sheep
<06629>_:

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>

it shall be with his dam
<0517>_;

on the eighth
<08066>

day
<03117>

thou shalt give
<05414> (8799)

it me.

22:31

And ye shall be holy
<06944>

men
<0582>

unto me: neither shall ye eat
<0398> (8799)

[any] flesh
<01320>

[that is] torn of beasts
<02966>

in the field
<07704>_;

ye shall cast
<07993> (8686)

it to the dogs
<03611>_.
