Yisro proclaims his belief in Hashem and identifies His manifest justice as the primary motive for his belief and conversion. Yisro observes Moshe's daily schedule as chief administrator, judge, and teacher. He advises his son-in-law to delegate some responsibilities to a hierarchy of worthy judges and administrators. This would allow Moshe to focus his attention on those issues that demand his specific attention. It is the 1st day of Sivan, and B’nai Yisroel has been in the desert for 43 days. Moshe is told by Hashem to explain to the nation that they are a "kingdom of Priests." Moshe tells the nation of G-d's expectations and they respond, "All that Hashem will command we will do." Moshe is further instructed to tell the people to prepare themselves by immersing themselves and their clothing in a Mikveh, and to remain apart from their spouses for 3 days. The 3rd day brought lightning, thunder, the sounding of a Shofar, and Mt. Sinai engulfed in clouds, smoke, and fire. Moshe led the nation to assemble at the foot of a trembling Mt. Sinai. Hashem summoned Moshe to ascend the mountain and instructed him to re-emphasize the prohibition against anyone else ascending the mountain. Moshe descends and discharges G-d's wishes. With Moshe standing among the people at the foot of the mountain, Hashem began to speak the Ten Commandments to the entire People. The Pasuk factually states that the B’nai Yisroel collectively heard G-d speak. It is among the most fundamentally important statements in the entire Torah.
