33. “Not Good”, Hebrew Phrase
eTeacher Biblical Newsletter
• “…Jethro understood that in order for Moses to be a
real leader, he couldn’t do everything single thing for
his people. A leader must guide his people, but he
can’t forget about his wife, (which was, by the
way, Miriam and Aharon’s biggest criticism of Moses)
nor can he judge every single
legal case and still have time to listen
to the commandments of God. Jethro understood that
Moses would simply burn out, like any human being.
Moses deeply respected his father in law and
was attentive as a leader, so he was happy to make
some changes in his leadership. When an outsider
came and shared with Moses some different views
about his leadership, Moses understood that he
needed to take a step back and

35. Exodus 18:21, Fear God
• Exodus 18:21 "Furthermore, you shall select out of all the
people able men who fear God, men of truth…
• Job 1:9 Then Satan answered the LORD, "Does Job fear God
for nothing? 10 "Hast Thou not made a hedge about him
and his house and all that he has, on every side? Thou hast
blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have
increased in the land.
• Ecclesiastes 8:13 But it will not be well for the evil man and
he will not lengthen his days like a shadow, because he
does not fear God.
• The remarkable thing about fearing God is that when you
fear God you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear
God you fear everything else. Oswald Chambers

When things are “not good.”During our last Webinar, where we spoke about Nehemiah as a social leader, I noticed that there's an essential expression in the Hebrew Bible - and actually
in our lives - that can make us change our perspective and actions.
•
When I teach Biblical Hebrew, I always remind both my students online and my pupils in high school that there's a difference between Biblical Hebrew and Modern Hebrew. Some words
and expressions may be written and pronounced the same way, but the meaning often isn’t the same. Today we will see that when things are not going well, this is the one expression
that never lost its meaning, from Biblical times through to today. We will examine this expression in relation to leadership.
•
When Jethro saw that Moses was sitting all day long, presiding over all the legal cases of the Israelites, Jethro said:
•
"Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “The thingthat you are doing is not good. You will surely wear out, both yourself and these people who are with you, for the task is too heavy for
you; you cannot do it alone"(Exodus 18:17-18)

The next time the expression about “not doing good” appears in the Bible was when David spoke with Abner about King Saul, David’s leader and his father in law, as written:
"This thing that you have done is not good. As the Lord lives , all of you must surely die, because you did not guard your lord, the Lord’s anointed. And now, see where the king’s
•
spear is and the jug of water that was at his head.”(1 Samuel 26:16)
"

Here the expression relates to the leader's protection. Since days of old and through to today, leaders have always been protected by guards. Since King Saul wasn't protected at
night, David could have easily killed him. The only reason that Daviddidn't do it, despite the fact that his people tried to convince him to do so, is becausekilling the King would have been
another thing that is “not good”, to say the least.
•
The final time that this beautiful expression appears in the Bible was during the time of Nehemiah, who was appointed to be the governor of the Jewish people in Judah. Nehemiah as a
social leader noticed that there was great poverty amongst his people, as we discussed in the last Webinar. He couldn't bear the thought that people needed to sell their children in order
to eat. For that reason he said:
•
Again I said, “The thing which you are doing is not good; should you not walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, ourenemies? And likewise I, my brothers and
my servants are lending them money and grain. Please, let us leave off this usury"(Nehemiah 5:9-10)

A great thing about being a leader is having the opportunity to enact change, to influence the lives of others, to make important decisions about the destiny of a nation. One must
remember, however, is that nobody is perfect - a leader can do wrong, can make mistakes, and can’t necessarily fix and change every situation, but a real leader should at least
try to understand what is good and what isn’t. This, for me, is the definition of a great leader. Nehemiah was one of the greatest leaders in the history of the Jewish people, thanks to his
understanding that it's time to write off thedebts of the nation's debts to when your people can’t even afford to eat. Being a goodleader means making sacrifices for your people, even if
the decision is a difficult one.
