In context
15 “Because the people come to me to inquire of God,” Moses replied.
16 “Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought to me to judge between one man and another, and I make known to them the statutes and laws of God.”
17 But Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “What you are doing is not good.
18 Surely you and these people with you will wear yourselves out, because the task is too heavy for you. You cannot handle it alone.
