Exodus 18:16 in Context — Exodus 18
14 Le beau-père de Moïse vit tout ce qu’il faisait pour le peuple, et il dit: Que fais-tu là avec ce peuple? Pourquoi sièges-tu seul, et tout le peuple se tient-il devant toi, depuis le matin jusqu’au soir?
15 Moïse répondit à son beau-père: C’est que le peuple vient à moi pour consulter Dieu.
16 Quand ils ont quelque affaire, ils viennent à moi; je prononce entre eux, et je fais connaître les ordonnances de Dieu et ses lois.
17 Le beau-père de Moïse lui dit: Ce que tu fais n’est pas bien.
18 Tu t’épuiseras toi-même, et tu épuiseras ce peuple qui est avec toi; car la chose est au-dessus de tes forces, tu ne pourras pas y suffire seul.
