Exodus 18:21-23
Legacy Standard Bible

21 But you shall [a]select (A)excellent men out of all the people, (B)those who fear God, men of truth, those who (C)hate greedy gain; and you shall place these men over them as leaders of thousands, [b]of hundreds, [c]of fifties, and [d]of tens. 22 And they will judge the people at all times. And it will be (D)that every major matter they will bring to you, but every minor matter they themselves will judge. So it will be easier for you, and (E)they will bear the burden with you. 23 If you do this thing and God so commands you, then you will be able to [e]endure, and all [f]these people also will go to [g]their place in peace.”
