Exodus 18:21-22

21Furthermore, you shall 1select out of all the people 2able men 3who fear God, men of truth, those who 4hate dishonest gain; and you shall place these over them as leaders of thousands, 5of hundreds, 6of fifties, and 7of tens.

22Let them judge the people at all times; and let it be 8that they will bring to you every major matter, but they will judge every minor matter themselves. So it will be easier for you, and 9they will carry the burden with you.
