Exodus 18:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 And admonish them of the ordinances, and of the laws, and show them the way, wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
21 Moreover, provide thou among all the people [a]men of courage, fearing God, men dealing truly, hating covetousness: and appoint such over them to be rulers over thousands, rulers over hundreds, rulers over fifties, and rulers over tens.
22 And let them judge the people at all seasons: but every great matter let them bring unto thee, and let them judge all small causes: so shall it be easier for thee, when they shall bear the burden with thee.
