OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_listened Mosheh to_sound/voice father-in-law_his and_he/it_made all that he_had_said.
OET (OET-RV) So Mosheh took his father-in-law’s advice and implemented all of his suggestions.
18:13-27 Jethro’s wise advice is a further example of God’s providence, although it was not given in a miraculous way. Jethro introduced Moses to a style of leadership that involved delegation of authority. It appears that Moses had been following an Egyptian style of leadership that was heavily hierarchical and based on circumstances. No Egyptian law code has yet been discovered. It appears that all authority flowed downward from the pharaoh, who ruled by fiat. Jethro proposed a structure of delegation that would make Moses’ life easier.
