The Power of a Detailed Testimony

Commentators note that Moses didn't just give a general summary of events; he told Jethro "all the particulars." This detailed account, moving beyond a vague report Jethro had already heard, provided a full and powerful picture of God's work. This serves as a model for believers to share the specific details of God's faithfulness in their lives, as this is what truly edifies and impacts the listener.
