@ And it came to pass on the
morrow
, that
Moses
sat
to
judge
the
people
: and the
people
stood
by
Moses
from the
morning
unto the
evening
.
strkjv@Exodus:18:14
@ And when
Moses
father in
law
saw
all that he
did
to the
people
, he
said
, What is this
thing
that thou
doest
to the
people
? why
sittest
thou thyself alone, and all the
people
stand
by thee from
morning
unto
even
?
strkjv@Exodus:18:15
@ And
Moses
said
unto his father in
law
, Because the
people
come
unto me to
enquire
of
God
:
strkjv@Exodus:18:16
@ When they have a
matter
, they
come
unto me; and I
judge
between
one
and
another
, and I do make them
know
the
statutes
of
God
, and his
laws
.
strkjv@Exodus:18:17
@ And
Moses
father in
law
said
unto him, The
thing
that thou
doest
is not
good
.
strkjv@Exodus:18:18
@ Thou wilt
surely
wear
away
, both thou, and this
people
that is with thee: for this
thing
is too
heavy
for thee; thou art not
able
to
perform
it thyself alone.
strkjv@Exodus:18:19
@
Hearken
now unto my
voice
, I will give thee
counsel
, and
God
shall
be
with thee: Be thou for the
people
to God-
ward
, that thou mayest
bring
the
causes
unto
God
:
strkjv@Exodus:18:20
@ And thou shalt
teach
them
ordinances
and
laws
, and shalt
shew
them the
way
wherein they must
walk
, and the
work
that they must
do
.
strkjv@Exodus:18:21
@ Moreover thou shalt
provide
out of all the
people
able
men
, such as
fear
God
,
men
of
truth
,
hating
covetousness
; and
place
such over them, to be
rulers
of
thousands
, and
rulers
of
hundreds
,
rulers
of
fifties
, and
rulers
of
tens
:
strkjv@Exodus:18:22
@ And let them
judge
the
people
at all
seasons
: and it shall be, that every
great
matter
they shall
bring
unto thee, but every
small
matter
they shall
judge
: so shall it be
easier
for thyself, and they shall
bear
the burden with thee.
strkjv@Exodus:18:23
@ If thou shalt
do
this
thing
, and
God
command
thee so, then thou shalt be
able
to
endure
, and all this
people
shall also
go
to their
place
in
peace
.
strkjv@Exodus:18:24
@ So
Moses
hearkened
to the
voice
of his father in
law
, and
did
all that he had
said
.
strkjv@Exodus:18:25
@ And
Moses
chose
able
men
out of all
Israel
, and
made
them
heads
over the
people
,
rulers
of
thousands
,
rulers
of
hundreds
,
rulers
of
fifties
, and
rulers
of
tens
.
strkjv@Exodus:18:26
@ And they
judged
the
people
at all
seasons
: the
hard
causes
they
brought
unto
Moses
, but every
small
matter
they
judged
themselves.
strkjv@Exodus:18:27
@ And
Moses
let his father in
law
depart
; and he
went
his way into his own
land
.
