Exodus 18 - 19
ExodusSteve Gregg
The chapters of Exodus 18 and 19 narrate the story of Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, advising him to delegate the responsibility of handling people's disputes to other able men to take some burden off him. Moses follows Jethro's suggestion and selects leaders at different levels based on their complexity. God calls Moses to the mountain and tells the people that they will become a kingdom of priests, a special treasure above all people, and prepares them to receive His law. However, during Moses' absence, the Israelites build a Golden Calf, violating the first and second commandments.
