Exodus 18:13-16

Leeser(i) 13 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people; and the people stood around Moses from the morning unto the evening. 14 And the father-in-law of Moses saw all that he did to the people; and he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people standeth around thee from morning until evening? 15 And Moses said unto his father-in-law, Because the people cometh unto me to inquire of God. 16 When they have a matter of dispute, they come unto me; and I judge between one and the other, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
