The Torah says he had heard "all that Elokim did to Moshe and Israel." The name Elokim connotes judgment, and Yisro believed the media reports that although Hashem saved the Jews, He was angry with them and led them into raging waters and sent a vicious enemy upon them. He therefore said, "Now I know that Hashem (mercy) is greater than any Elokim (aspect of judgment) for it was in the very things they sinned [that He punished the Egyptians.] First and foremost, when we accept the Torah, we must know that G-d is merciful above all else. Even to Moshe, the greatest man in the world, if there’s a chance to make an improvement, we should say what needs to be said (in a respectful way of course.) None of us is too insignificant to make a difference and G-d Himself may very well agree with our suggestions. One way of categorizing them is that the first five are between “Man and G-d” while the second are between “Man and Man.” The mitzvah of honoring one’s parents falls in the first category as one’s parents are partners with Hashem in his creation and showing them honor honors Hashem as well. - Compliments of The Observant Jew If You See Something, Say Something When Moshe’s father-in-law, Yisro, came to experience life in the Jewish camp, he was greeted warmly. Hashem punishes measure for measure out of kindness to let us know what we've done wrong, much as a warning light on a car's dashboard alerts you to a problem internally. While we don’t fully understand the reasons for mitzvos, we can at least make some logical argument of our own as to why these things make the mitzvos worth observing. By explaining what we want of them and letting them decide it makes sense, we will be emulating HaKadosh Boruch Hu, and we will likely end up getting what we want. He used the name connoting mercy, explaining that the plagues and everything the Egyptians suffered was on account of what they had done to the Jewish People. This also follows with what Hashem says initially: “I have taken you from Egypt, from slavery.” A slave is given orders and expected to listen unthinkingly.
