Abstract
Yitro might best be described as recorded history’s first consultant. He is an outsider who pays a visit, observes Moses, and tells his son-in-law that he’s going about his business all wrong. Moses spends all day adjudicating issues and answering questions for the long line of people waiting for him. Yitro watches the spectacle in disbelief. The dialogue between these two leaders of different faiths and generations is fascinating:
