Exodus 18:20-22

Tree of Life Version

²⁰ Enlighten them as to the statutes and the laws, and show them the way by which they must walk and the work they must do. ²¹ But you should seek out capable men out of all the people—men who fear God, men of truth, who hate bribery. Appoint them to be rulers over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. ²² Let them judge the people all the time. Then let every major case be brought to you, but every minor case they can judge for themselves. Make it easier for yourself, as they bear the burden with you.
