Exodus 18:22-24

Expanded Bible

²² Let these officers ·solve the disagreements [consider cases; judge] among the people all the time. They can bring the ·hard [^Lbig] cases to you, but they can ·decide [judge] the ·simple [^Lsmall] cases themselves. That will make it easier for you, because they will share the work with you. ²³ If you do this as God commands you, then you will be able to do your job, and all the people will go ·home [to their place] ·with their disagreements solved [^Lin peace].”

²⁴ So Moses listened to [^Lthe voice of] his father-in-law and did everything he said.
