Exodus 18:13-16 ▼

13 On the next day Moses sat 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 are you sitting by yourself, and all the people stand around you from morning until evening?|

15 Moses said to his father-in-law, |Because the people come to me to inquire of God.

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