Exodus 18:13-16

13The next day, Moses sat to judge the people, and they stood around Moses from morning till evening.

14When Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he did for the people, he said, “What’s this you’re doing to the people? Why sit by yourself, alone, with all the people standing around from morning until evening?”

15Moses answered his father-in-law, “It’s because the people come to me to inquire of God.

16When they have an issue, it comes to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor, so I make them understand God’s statutes and His laws.”
