Exodus 18:22-24

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²² Let them sit as judges for the people at all times; let them bring every important case to you, but decide every minor case themselves. So it will be easier for you, and they will bear the burden with you. ²³ If you do this, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all these people will go to their home in peace.’

²⁴ So Moses listened to his father-in-law and did all that he had said.
