17 摩 西 的 岳 父 說 : 你 這 做 的 不 好 。

出埃及記 18:17 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 18:17

And Moses's father in law said unto him
Having observed what he did, and heard his answer to the question he put to him:

the thing that thou doest is not good;
not meaning that it was not morally good, or that it was morally evil; for it was certainly a good thing to inquire of the mind and will of God for the people, and to hear and decide matters in controversy between them, and do justice to both parties; but it was not good for the health of Moses; it was not commodious and convenient for him; it was not for his bodily welfare; it was too much for him, as he explains himself in the next verse.

出埃及記 18:17 In-Context

15 摩 西 對 岳 父 說 : 這 是 因 百 姓 到 我 這 裡 來 求 問   神 。
16 他 們 有 事 的 時 候 就 到 我 這 裡 來 , 我 便 在 兩 造 之 間 施 行 審 判 ; 我 又 叫 他 們 知 道   神 的 律 例 和 法 度 。
17 摩 西 的 岳 父 說 : 你 這 做 的 不 好 。
18 你 和 這 些 百 姓 必 都 疲 憊 ; 因 為 這 事 太 重 , 你 獨 自 一 人 辦 理 不 了 。
19 現 在 你 要 聽 我 的 話 。 我 為 你 出 個 主 意 , 願   神 與 你 同 在 。 你 要 替 百 姓 到 神 面 前 , 將 案 件 奏 告   神 ;
