¹⁴ And when Moses' father-in-law saw all he was doing, he said, What is this you are doing for the people? why are you seated here by yourself, with all the people waiting before you from morning till evening?

^{15 Ref} And Moses said to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to get directions from God:

^{16 Ref} And if they have any question between themselves, they come to me, and I am judge between a man and his neighbour, and I give them the orders and laws of God.

¹⁷ And Moses' father-in-law said to him, What you are doing is not good.
