Jertho acknowledges with delight... about all the good things the Lord had done; "he said praise be to the ' Lord God' he is greater then all other Gods...and here he offers a burnt sacrfice, and the community of Isreal ate a meal in the presence of God thy Father. The next day: Moses sits as judge for the people...morning, noon, and night laboring hard he had inadvertently become a workaholic.Jertho, Moses father-in-law saw Moses workload was to hard for him to maintain by himself.
