Exodus 18:21-25 Thou thyself, therefore, shalt look out, from among all the people––men of ability, reverers of God, men of fidelity, haters of extortion,––and place them over them as rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ Thou thyself, therefore, shalt look out, from among all the people––men of ability, reverers of God, men of fidelity, haters of extortion,––and place them over [them] as rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. ²² So shall they judge the people at any time, and it shall be, all the great matters, shall they bring in unto thee, but, all the small matters, shall, they themselves, judge,––so, lighten thou the burden for thyself, and let them bear it with thee. ²³ If, this thing, thou wilt do, and God shall command thee, then shalt thou be able to endure,––yea, moreover, all this people, shall go in, unto their dwellings, contented. ²⁴ So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father–in–law, and did all that he had said; ²⁵ and Moses chose men of ability out of all Israel, and set them to be heads over the people,––rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
