• {v.13-27} Two things have to be carefully distinguished—the failure of Moses, and the thing symbolized by the appointment of the rulers over the people. To take the latter first, it is evident that this arrangement for judging the people emblematically portrays the order in government which the Messiah will set up when He assumes His kingdom (Psa. 72:2-3). (“Millennial Blessing: Exodus 18” by E. Dennett)
• {v.13-27}  The failure of Moses in listening to Jethro must not be concealed. Indeed, if it were, some most valuable instruction would thereby be lost. The first mistake to be made was in listening to Jethro on such a matter. The Lord had given him his office; and it was to Him he should have had recourse on every subject that concerned His people. (“Millennial Blessing: Exodus 18” by E. Dennett)
