Exodus 18:24-26

Common English Bible

²⁴ Moses listened to his father-in-law’s suggestions and did everything that he had said. ²⁵ Moses chose capable persons from all Israel and set them as leaders over the people, as officers over groups of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens. ²⁶ They acted as judges for the people at all times. They would refer the hard cases to Moses, but all of the minor cases they decided themselves.
