Exodus 18
Exo 18:11
The miracles struck at the "gods" of Egypt: cp Num 33:4.
Exo 18:15
THE PEOPLE COME TO ME TO SEEK GOD'S WILL:
God commits judgment to Moses, as He does later to Jesus (Joh 5:22,23).
Exo 18:16
"Who made you a judge?" (Exo 2:14). And Jesus: "Who made me a ruler and a judge over you?" (Luk 12:14).
Exo 18:17
Vv 17-24: Divine guidance and common sense must work together. Jethro is not afraid to speak to Moses (LM 308,309).

FROM ALL THE PEOPLE:
Typ saints (co-rulers with Christ, the antitypical Moses).

Later Moses seems to have changed his mind, asking him to stay: Num 10:32,33.
