## Exodus 18:14 in Context (Verses 11–17 KJV)
 
 [11 ](/kjv/exodus/18/11) Now I know that the LORD *is* greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly *he was* above them.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/exodus/18/12) 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.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/exodus/18/13) ¶ 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.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/exodus/18/14) And when Moses’ father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What *is* this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
 
 [15 ](/kjv/exodus/18/15) And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:
 
 [16 ](/kjv/exodus/18/16) When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make *them* know the statutes of God, and his laws.*
 
 [17 ](/kjv/exodus/18/17) And Moses’ father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest *is* not good.
