Exodus 18:19-22

19Hearken nowH6258 unto my voiceH6963, I will giveH3289 thee counselH3289, and GodH430 be with thee: be thou for the peopleH5971 to God-ward, and bringH935 thou the causes unto GodH430:

20and thou shalt teachH3045 them the statutesH2706 and the lawsH8451, and shalt shew them the wayH1870 whereinH834 they mustH853 walkH1870, and the workH4639 that they mustH853 doH6213.

21Moreover thou shalt provide outH5921 of allH3605 the peopleH5971 ableH2428 menH376, suchH3605 as fearH3373 GodH430, menH376 of truthH571, hatingH8130 unjustH1215 gainH1215; and placeH7760 suchH3605 over them, to be rulersH8269 of thousandsH505, rulersH8269 of hundredsH3967, rulersH8269 of fiftiesH2572, and rulersH8269 of tensH6235:

22and letH1961 them judgeH8199 the peopleH5971 at allH3605 seasons: and it shall be, that everyH3605 greatH1419 matterH1697 they shall bringH935 unto thee, but everyH3605 smallH6996 matterH1697 they shall judgeH8199 themselvesH1992: soH1961 shall it be easierH7043 for thyself, and they shall bearH5375 the burdenH413 with thee.
