Exodus 18:22-27 ▼

22 and they have judged the people at all times; and it has come to pass, they bring every great matter to you, and they judge every small matter themselves; and lighten it from off yourself, and they have borne with you.

23 If you do this thing, and God has commanded you, then you have been able to stand, and all this people also goes to its place in peace.”

24 And Moses listens to the voice of his father-in-law, and does all that he said,

25 and Moses chooses men of ability out of all Israel, and makes them chiefs over the people [for] heads of thousands, heads of hundreds, heads of fifties, and heads of tens,

26 and they have judged the people at all times; they bring the hard matter to Moses, and they judge every small matter themselves.

27 And Moses sends his father-in-law away, and he goes away to his own land.
