Exodus 18:22

²²and they have judged the people at all times; and it hath come to pass, every great matter they bring in unto thee, and every small matter they judge themselves; and lighten it from off thyself, and they have borne with thee.

In **Exodus 18**, Moses is reunited with his father-in-law, Jethro, who brings Moses' wife Zipporah and his two sons to him in the wilderness. Jethro offers sacrifices to God, acknowledging His supremacy after hearing of Israel's deliverance from Egypt. Observing Moses' overwhelming burden of judging all the people, Jethro wisely advises him to delegate judicial responsibilities to capable leaders, thereby preserving Moses' strength and ensuring more efficient justice for the nation. This chapter highlights the importance of wise counsel, leadership structure, and the shared worship of God.
