Exodus 18:13-16

13The next day Moses was settling disagreements among the people. The people stood around Moses from morning until evening.

14When Moses’ father-in-law saw everything Moses was doing for the people, he asked, “Why are you doing this for the people? Why do you sit here alone, while all the people stand around you from morning until evening?”

15Moses answered his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to find out God’s will.

16Whenever they have a disagreement and bring it to me, I decide which person is right, and I tell them God’s laws and instructions.”
