← Exodus 18:11	Exodus 18:12 (KJV)	Exodus 18:13 →
Now I know that the LORD [is] greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly [he was] above them.	And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father in law before God.	And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.
