21. Moreover, you shall choose able men from all the people–God-fearing men of truth who hate unjust gain–and place them over thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens, to be their rulers.
22. And let them judge the people at all times; every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge. So it will be easier for you, and they will bear the burden with you.
23. If you will do this, and God so commands you, you will be able to endure [the strain], and all these people also will go to their [tents] in peace.
24. So Moses listened to and heeded the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said.
25. Moses chose able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.
26. And they judged the people at all times; the hard cases they brought to Moses, but every small matter they decided themselves.
27. Then Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went his way into his own land.
