This job is too heavy a burden for you to handle all by yourself.Now listen to me, and let me give you a word of advice, and may God be with you. You should continue to be the people’s representative before God, bringing their disputes to him.Teach them God’s decrees, and give them his instructions. Show them how to conduct their lives.But select from all the people some capable, honest men who fear God and hate bribes. Appoint them as leaders over groups of one thousand, one hundred, fifty, and ten.They should always be available to solve the people’s common disputes, but have them bring the major cases to you. Let the leaders decide the smaller matters themselves. They will help you carry the load, making the task easier for you.If you follow this advice, and if God commands you to do so, then you will be able to endure the pressures, and all these people will go home in peace.”Moses listened to his father in law’s advice and followed his suggestions.
