22 Let them sit as judges for the people at all times. They should bring every major dispute to you, but they should decide all of the minor cases themselves. This will be much easier for you, and they will share your load.
23 If you do this and God directs you, then you will be able to endure. And all these people will be able to go back to their homes much happier."
24 Moses listened to his father-in-law’s suggestions and did everything that he had said.
25 Moses chose capable persons from all Israel and set them as leaders over the people, as officers over groups of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens.
26 They acted as judges for the people at all times. They would refer the hard cases to Moses, but all of the minor cases they decided themselves.
27 Then Moses said good-bye to his father-in-law, and Jethro went back to his own country.
