Exodus 18:19
Give ear now to my suggestion, and may God be with you: you are to be the people's representative before God, taking their causes to him:
Exodus 18:21
But for the rest, take from among the people able men, such as have the fear of God, true men hating profits wrongly made; and put such men over them, to be captains of thousands, captains of hundreds and of fifties and of tens;
Exodus 18:22
And let them be judges in the causes of the people at all times: and let them put before you all important questions, but in small things let them give decisions themselves: in this way, it will be less hard for you, and they will take the weight off you.
Exodus 18:23
If you do this, and God gives approval, then you will be able to go on without weariness, and all this people will go to their tents in peace.

Exodus 18:15
And Moses said to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to get directions from God:
Exodus 18:16
And if they have any question between themselves, they come to me, and I am judge between a man and his neighbour, and I give them the orders and laws of God.
