8679. Verse 12 And Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God; and Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses before God.

'And Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God' means worship springing from the good of love and the truths of faith. 'And Aaron and all the elders of Israel came' means the things which in the Church are primary. 'To eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses before God' means making their own these things coming from Divine Good.
