Even Moses Had To Delegate

In the first half of chapter 17, Exodus, God's people complained about not having water to drink.

Once again, God told Moses to go to Mount Sinai and strike one of the rocks there.  He did.  Water flowed from the rock.  The people were happy.

In the last half of chapter 18, Moses settled the many disputes people brought to him.  It was exhausting, and his father-in-law Jethro told him that he did not have to do everything himself.  So, after much grumbling, Moses appointed judges to hear disputes from the lesser cases while he saved himself for the larger ones.

Thus came the first sign of delegation.
