The next day, Moses took his seat to hear the people’s disputes against each other. They waited before him from morning till evening.When Moses’ father in law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he asked,“ What are you really accomplishing here? Why are you trying to do all this alone while everyone stands around you from morning till evening?”

Now listen to me, and let me give you a word of advice, and may God be with you. You should continue to be the people’s representative before God, bringing their disputes to him.Teach them God’s decrees, and give them his instructions. Show them how to conduct their lives.But select from all the people some capable, honest men who fear God and hate bribes. Appoint them as leaders over groups of one thousand, one hundred, fifty, and ten.They should always be available to solve the people’s common disputes, but have them bring the major cases to you. Let the leaders decide the smaller matters themselves. They will help you carry the load, making the task easier for you.If you follow this advice, and if God commands you to do so, then you will be able to endure the pressures, and all these people will go home in peace.”Moses listened to his father in law’s advice and followed his suggestions.He chose capable men from all over Israel and appointed them as leaders over the people. He put them in charge of groups of one thousand, one hundred, fifty, and ten.These men were always available to solve the people’s common disputes. They brought the major cases to Moses, but they took care of the smaller matters themselves.

“ Suppose a case arises in a local court that is too hard for you to decide— for instance, whether someone is guilty of murder or only of manslaughter, or a difficult lawsuit, or a case involving different kinds of assault. Take such legal cases to the place the Lord your God will choose,and present them to the Levitical priests or the judge on duty at that time. They will hear the case and declare the verdict.You must carry out the verdict they announce and the sentence they prescribe at the place the Lord chooses. You must do exactly what they say.

The people who found him doing this took him before Moses, Aaron, and the rest of the community.They held him in custody because they did not know what to do with him.
