King James Bible
"So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said."
Moses demonstrates humility by accepting counsel from Jethro, a Midianite priest outside the covenant community. This openness to wisdom from an unexpected source reveals Moses' teachability and prioritization of effective leadership over personal pride. Moses implements Jethro's advice completely, establishing a judicial hierarchy to share the burden of governing Israel. This practical response transforms Israel's legal system from a one-man operation to a sustainable structure that would influence Jewish governance for generations.
