Exodus 18:13-16

13On the next day Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from morning until evening.

14When Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, “What is this that you are doing for the people? Why are you sitting by yourself, and all the people stand around you from morning until evening?”

15Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God.

16When they have a dispute, it comes to me and I decide between a man and his neighbor, and I make known the decrees of God and his laws.”
