Cross-reference

Exodus 18:14 Historical context

Exodus 18:14 shows Jethro observing Moses judging alone — the context for his rebuke in verse 17 that it is not good.

Deuteronomy 1:12 records Moses’ own later lament about bearing Israel’s burden — confirming Jethro’s earlier assessment.

Acts 6:2 Parallel

Acts 6:2 applies the same delegation principle: apostles appoint deacons to avoid neglect — directly mirroring Jethro's advice to Moses.
