Exodus 18:19-21

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁹ Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people before God that thou may submit the causes unto God.

²⁰ And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws and shalt show them the way in which they must walk and the work that they must do.

²¹ Moreover thou shalt consider out of all the people men of virtue, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness, and place princes over them, of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.
