Exodus 18:22-23
Christian Standard Bible
22 They should judge the people at all times. Then they can bring you every major case but judge every minor case themselves. In this way you will lighten your load,[a] and they will bear it with you.(A) 23 If you do this, and God so directs you, you will be able to endure, and also all these people will be able to go home satisfied.”[b]

Exodus 18:22-23
New International Version
22 Have them serve as judges for the people at all times, but have them bring every difficult case(A) to you; the simple cases they can decide themselves. That will make your load lighter, because they will share(B) it with you. 23 If you do this and God so commands, you will be able to stand the strain, and all these people will go home satisfied.”
