Exodus 18:22-24
New American Standard Bible
22 Let them judge the people at all times; and let it be (A)that they will bring to you every major matter, but they will judge every minor matter themselves. So it will be easier for you, and (B)they will carry the burden with you. 23 If you do this thing and God so commands you, then you will be able to [a]endure, and all [b]these people also will go to [c]their places in peace.”
24 So Moses listened [d]to his father-in-law and did everything that he had said.

Exodus 18:22-24
New International Version
22 Have them serve as judges for the people at all times, but have them bring every difficult case(A) to you; the simple cases they can decide themselves. That will make your load lighter, because they will share(B) 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.
