Exodus 18:21-23

New American Standard Bible 1995

²¹ Furthermore, you shall ^[a]select out of all the people ^(A)able men ^(B)who fear God, men of truth, those who ^(C)hate dishonest gain; and you shall place these over them as leaders of thousands, ^[b]of hundreds, ^[c]of fifties and ^[d]of tens. ²² Let them judge the people at all times; and let it be ^(D)that every major ^[e]dispute they will bring to you, but every minor ^[f]dispute 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 ^[g]endure, and all ^[h]these people also will go to ^[i]their place in peace.”
