Exodus 18:21-25

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.

23IfH518 thou shalt doH6213 this thingH1697, and GodH430 commandH6680 thee soH6213, then thou shalt be ableH3201 to endureH5975, and allH3605 this peopleH5971 also shall goH935 to their placeH4725 in peaceH7965.

24SoH6213 MosesH4872 hearkened to the voiceH6963 of his father in law, and didH6213 allH3605 that he had saidH559.

25And MosesH4872 choseH977 ableH2428 menH376 outH5921 of allH3605 IsraelH3478, and madeH5414 them headsH7218 over the peopleH5971, rulersH8269 of thousandsH505, rulersH8269 of hundredsH3967, rulersH8269 of fiftiesH2572, and rulersH8269 of tensH6235.
