Exodus 18:22-26

Let them judge the people at all times; and let it be that they will bring to you every major matter, but they will judge every minor matter themselves. So it will be easier for you, and they will carry the burden with you.

If you do this thing and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all these people also will go to their places in peace.”

So Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything that he had said.

Moses chose able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.

Then they judged the people at all times; they would bring the difficult matter to Moses, but they would judge every minor matter themselves.
