Exodus 18:24 YLT

²²  and they have judged the people at all times; and it hath come to pass, every great matter they bring in unto thee, and every small matter they judge themselves; and lighten it from off thyself, and they have borne with thee.

²³  If thou dost this thing, and God hath commanded thee, then thou hast been able to stand, and all this people also goeth in unto its place in peace.'

²⁴  And Moses hearkeneth to the voice of his father-in-law, and doth all that he said,

²⁵  and Moses chooseth men of ability out of all Israel, and maketh them chiefs over the people, heads of thousands, heads of hundreds, heads of fifties, and heads of tens,

²⁶  and they have judged the people at all times; the hard matter they bring in unto Moses, and every small matter they judge themselves.
