Commentary on Exodus 18:23

Theological / Devotional

And God command thee so. Although Jethro was convinced of the soundness of his counsel and the importance of its being followed, he nevertheless modestly left the choice of adopting it up to Moses. Knowing that his son-in-law acted according to divine directions in all matters, he realized that the success of the plan would be assured only if God should approve of it, and that only on this condition would Moses accept it. That Moses acted in harmony with Jethro’s advice is evidence that it did receive divine sanction, and that in giving it Jethro must have been inspired by the Spirit of God.
