Exodus 18:13-16

13The next day, Moses sat down to judge people who had quarrels against each other. From morning until evening, people were coming to him with their quarrels.

14Jethro saw all these things that Moses did to help the people. So he said, ‘You are trying to do too much! Why do you sit there alone to judge all these people during the whole day?’

15Moses answered Jethro, ‘The people come to me to discover what God says.

16When they quarrel, they come to me to decide who is right. I tell them what God's laws and commands teach.’
