Verse
Exodus - ch 18 v 21 - 27
- `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,
- 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.
- 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.'
- And Moses hearkeneth to the voice of his father-in-law, and doth all that he said,
- 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,
- and they have judged the people at all times; the hard matter they bring in unto Moses, and every small matter they judge themselves.
- And Moses sendeth his father-in-law away, and he goeth away unto his own land.
