How do you react when people criticize you? What if they are right? Do you accept their opinions and change or do you argue just to save your pride? Moses was a great prophet set over all the people. Notice, however, what happened in Exodus 18 when someone criticized how Moses acted and suggested how he could change. In this case, the person who criticized Moses had nothing to gain personally; he was only interested in helping someone he loved.
