Exodus 18:13-16 ▼

13 The next day Moses sat down to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from morning until evening.

14 When Moses' father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, |What is this that you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge, with all the people standing around you from morning until evening?|

15 Moses told his father-in-law, |Because the people come to me to seek God's will.

16 When they have a dispute, it comes to me and I decide between a person and his neighbor, and make known the statutes of God and his instructions.|
