כִּֽי־יִהְיֶ֨ה לָהֶ֤ם דָּבָר֙ בָּ֣א אֵלַ֔י וְשָׁ֣פַטְתִּ֔י בֵּ֥ין אִ֖ישׁ וּבֵ֣ין רֵעֵ֑הוּ וְהוֹדַעְתִּ֛י אֶת־חֻקֵּ֥י הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים וְאֶת־תּוֹרֹתָֽיו׃
Kapag may usapin sila, lumalapit sa akin ang may usapin, at humahatol ako sa pagitan ng isang tao at ng kanyang kapwa, at ipinapaalam ko sa kanila ang mga batas ng Diyos at ang Kanyang mga turo.”
On Drunkenness
[37] See how he deals with Moses. He in his wisdom was recalling the whole people of the soul to piety and to honouring God, and was teaching them the commandments and holy laws. His words are, “when they have a dispute and come to me, I judge between each of them and instruct them in the commandments of God and His law” (Exod. 18:16). And then comes forward Jethro the seeming wise, who has never learnt the secrets of the divine blessings, but his concern has been with little else than things human and corruptible. He plays the demagogue, and the laws which he lays down contradict the laws of nature; for his eyes are fixed on semblance, while they relate to real existence.
