Exodus 18 · Grade 2

Helpers for Moses

Name Date

Read the Story

Moses' father-in-law, Jethro, came to visit. He brought Moses' wife and sons. Moses told Jethro everything God had done. Jethro was happy. He said, Now I know that Yahweh is greater than all gods.

The next day, Jethro watched Moses. People lined up from morning until evening to ask Moses to help solve their problems. Jethro said it was too much work for Moses. He would wear himself out!

Jethro told Moses to choose good men who loved God and told the truth. They could help with the small problems, and Moses could take care of the big ones. Moses listened and did what Jethro said.

Memory Verse

Now I know that Yahweh is greater than all gods because of the way that they treated people arrogantly.”
