^{21 Ref} Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

^{22 Ref} And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.

^{23 Ref} If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.

^{24 Ref} So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.

^{25 Ref} 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 Ref} And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
