Exodus 18, Luke 21, Job 36, 2 Corinthians 6
This major administrative structure is being put into place among the covenant community without any word from God. Why is Jethro, a pagan from a pagan people who worships pagan Gods play such integral importance in the development of Israels social order? The sovereign goodness and provision of God is displayed in this propitious moment just as in the parting of the Red Sea.
Jethro even came to a conclusion from looking at all the wonders Moses had achieved through this Monotheistic God. "Now I know that the Lord is greater than all other gods, for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly" (18:11). He offered sacrifices to the living God v12.
