Exodus 18:19-21

Tree of Life Version

¹⁹ Now listen to my voice—I will give you advice, and may God be with you! You, represent the people before God, and bring their cases to God. ²⁰ Enlighten them as to the statutes and the laws, and show them the way by which they must walk and the work they must do. ²¹ But you should seek out capable men out of all the people—men who fear God, men of truth, who hate bribery. Appoint them to be rulers over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.
