16 For when the word will be to them, they came to me, and I judged between a man and between his friend, and I made known the laws of God and his precepts. 17 And Moses' father-in-law will say to him, The word is not good which thou doest. 18 Fading, thou wilt fade away, also thou, also this people that is with thee: for this word is heavy for thee; thou wilt not be able to do it thyself alone. 19 Now hear to my voice, I will advise thee, and God will be with thee: be thou for the people towards God, and bring thou their words to God; 20 And teach them the laws and the precepts and make known to them the way they shall go in it, and the work which they shall do. 21 And thou shalt look out from all the people men of ability, fearing God, men of truth, men hating gain; and set thou over them chiefs of thousands, chiefs of hundreds, chiefs of fifties, and chiefs of ten. 22 And they judged the people in all time: and it will be every great word they will bring to thee, and every small word they shall judge: and it will be light for thee, and they shall lift up with thee.
