The Appointment of Judges^(A)

¹³ The next day Moses was settling disputes among the people, and he was kept busy from morning till night. ¹⁴ When Jethro saw everything that Moses had to do, he asked, “What is all this that you are doing for the people? Why are you doing this all alone, with people standing here from morning till night to consult you?”

¹⁵ Moses answered, “I must do this because the people come to me to learn God's will.
