Exodus 18:21-22  New International Version

²¹ But select capable men^(A) from all the people—men who fear^(B) God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain^(C)—and appoint them as officials^(D) over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. ²² Have them serve as judges for the people at all times, but have them bring every difficult case^(E) to you; the simple cases they can decide themselves. That will make your load lighter, because they will share^(F) it with you.
