Parashat YitroMoses spends much of his time explaining God's statutes and laws to the people; his father-in-law, Jethro, suggests that he delegate some of this judicial authority. After ascending Mount Sinai to speak with God, Moses returns to prepare the people for Revelation. Amidst awesome thunder, lighting, and flame, God, glorious and holy, reveals the Divine Presence - and the Ten Commandments - to Israel.
