Moses Appoints Judges and Jethro Departs
24
So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.
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.
26
And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
27
And Moses let his father-in-law depart; and he went his way into his own land.
