Exodus 18:13-22

13And it came to pass on the morrow, that MosesH4872 satH3427 to judgeH8199 the peopleH5971: and the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 about MosesH4872 from the morningH1242 unto the eveningH6153. 14And whenH834 Moses’H4872 father-in-law sawH7200 all that he did to the peopleH5971, he saidH559, What is this thingH1697 that thou doest to the peopleH5971? whyH4100 sittest thou thyself aloneH905, and all the peopleH5971 standH5324 about thee from morningH1242 unto even? 15And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto his father-in-law, Because the peopleH5971 comeH935 unto me to inquire of GodH430: 16when they have a matterH1697, they comeH935 unto me; and I judgeH8199 between a manH376 and his neighborH7453, and I makeH3045 them knowH3045 the statutesH2706 of GodH430, and his lawsH8451. 17And Moses’H4872 father-in-law saidH559 unto him, The thingH1697 that thou doest is not goodH2896. 18Thou wilt surely wearH5034 away, both thou, and this peopleH5971 that is with thee: for the thingH1697 is too heavyH3515 for thee; thou art not ableH3201 to perform it thyself aloneH905. 19Hearken nowH6258 unto my voiceH6963, I will give thee counselH3289, and GodH430 beH1961 with thee: beH1961 thou for the peopleH5971 to God-ward, and bringH935 thou the causes unto GodH430: 20and thou shalt teach them the statutesH2706 and the lawsH8451, and shalt show them the wayH1870 wherein they must walk, and the workH4639 that they must do. 21Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the peopleH5971 able menH376, such as fearH3373 GodH430, menH376 of truthH571, hatingH8130 unjustH1215 gainH1215; and placeH7760 such over them, to be rulers of thousandsH505, rulers of hundredsH3967, rulers of fiftiesH2572, and rulers of tensH6235: 22and let them judgeH8199 the peopleH5971 at all seasons: and it shall beH1961, that every greatH1419 matterH1697 they shall bringH935 unto thee, but every smallH6996 matterH1697 they shall judgeH8199 themselves: so shall it beH1961 easier for thyself, and they shall bearH5375 the burden with thee.
