Exodus 18:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ Now listen to me, I will advise you, and may God be with you: You be a representative for the people to God so that you may bring their disputes to God. ²⁰ And you shall teach them the statutes and laws and shall show them the way in which they must walk and the work that they must do. ²¹ Moreover, you shall choose out of all the people capable men who fear God, men of truth, hating dishonest gain, and place these men over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
