Exodus 18:22-24

New International Version - UK

²² Let them serve as judges for the people at all times, but let them bring every difficult case to you; the simple cases they can decide themselves. That will make your load lighter, because they will share it with you. ²³ If you do this and God so commands, you will be able to stand the strain, and all these people will go home satisfied.’

²⁴ Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said.
