While encamped at Rephidim, Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, brings his wife and two sons back to him after hearing of the great things that God has done for His people.  He greets him and enjoys a meal as Moses tells him in greater details of all the things that God has done.  The next day he observes how Moses judged the disputes between all the people.  Fearing this would surely wear Moses out, he advised him to appoint judges for the smaller matters and for him to judge the issues that the lesser judges could not determine.  Moses listened to the counsel of his father-in-law and finally bid him farewell.  A wise man will listen to godly counsel.
