13. And it came to be, on the next day, that Mosheh sat to rightly rule the people. And the people stood before Mosheh from morning until evening.
14. And when the father-in-law of Mosheh saw all that he did for the people, he said, “What is this that you are doing for the people? Why do you sit by yourself, and all the people stand before you from morning until evening?”
15. And Mosheh said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to seek Elohim.
16. “When they have a matter, they come to me, and I rightly rule between one and another, and make known the laws of Elohim and His Torot.”
17. And the father-in-law of Mosheh said to him, “What you are doing is not good.
18. “Both you and these people with you shall certainly wear yourselves out. For the matter is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it by yourself.
19. “Now listen to my voice. Let me counsel you and Elohim be with you: Stand before Elohim for the people, and you shall bring the matters to Elohim.
20. “And you shall enlighten them concerning the laws and the Torot, and show them the way in which they should walk and the work which they do.
21. “But you yourself, seek out from all the people able men, who fear Elohim, men of truth, hating unfair gain. And place these over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
22. “And they shall rightly rule the people at all times. And it shall be that they bring every great matter to you, but they themselves rightly rule every small matter. So, make it lighter for yourself, for they shall bear with you.
23. “If you do this word, and Elohim shall command you, then you shall be able to stand and all this people also go to their place in peace.”
24. And Mosheh listened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he said.
