Exodus 18:24-26

24So Moses listened 1to his father-in-law and did everything that he had said.

25Moses chose 2able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, leaders of thousands, 3of hundreds, 4of fifties, and 5of tens.

26Then they judged the people at all times; 6they would bring the difficult matter to Moses, but they would judge every minor matter themselves.
