Exodus 18:19-22

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.
