Exodus 18:19-22
New American Standard Bible
19 Now listen to [a]me: I will give you counsel, and God be with you. [b]You be the people’s representative before God, and you (A)bring the [c]disputes to God, 20 (B)then admonish them about the statutes and the laws, and make known to them (C)the way in which they are to walk and the work they are to do. 21 Furthermore, you shall [d]select out of all the people (D)able men (E)who fear God, men of truth, those who (F)hate dishonest gain; and you shall place these over them as leaders of thousands, [e]of hundreds, [f]of fifties, and [g]of tens. 22 Let them judge the people at all times; and let it be (G)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 (H)they will carry the burden with you.
