Exodus 18:20-27 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

20. and thou hast warned them [concerning] the statutes and the laws, and hast made known to them the way in which they go, and the work which they do.

21. `And thou--thou dost provide out of all the people men of ability, fearing God, men of truth, hating dishonest gain, and hast placed [these] over them, heads of thousands, heads of hundreds, heads of fifties, and heads of tens,

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.

27. And Moses sendeth his father-in-law away, and he goeth away unto his own land.
