Exodus 18:19-27

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

now unto my voice
<06963>_,

I will give thee counsel
<03289> (8799)_,

and God
<0430>

shall be
<01961> (8798)

with thee: Be thou for the people
<05971>

to God-ward
<04136> <0430>_,

that thou mayest bring
<0935> (8689)

the causes
<01697>

unto God
<0430>_:

And thou shalt teach
<02094> (8689) <0853>

them ordinances
<02706>

and laws
<08451>_,

and shalt shew
<03045> (8689)

them the way
<01870>

wherein they must walk
<03212> (8799)_,

and the work
<04639>

that they must do
<06213> (8799)_.

Moreover thou shalt provide
<02372> (8799)

out of all the people
<05971>

able
<02428>

men
<0582>_,

such as fear
<03373>

God
<0430>_,

men
<0582>

of truth
<0571>_,

hating
<08130> (8802)

covetousness
<01215>_;

and place
<07760> (8804)

[such] over them, [to be] rulers
<08269>

of thousands
<0505>_,

[and] rulers
<08269>

of hundreds
<03967>_,

rulers
<08269>

of fifties
<02572>_,

and rulers
<08269>

of tens
<06235>_:

And let them judge
<08199> (8804)

the people
<05971>

at all seasons
<06256>_:

and it shall be, [that] every great
<01419>

matter
<01697>

they shall bring
<0935> (8686)

unto thee, but every small
<06996>

matter
<01697>

they shall judge
<08199> (8799)_:

so shall it be easier
<07043> (8685)

for thyself, and they shall bear
<05375> (8804)

[the burden] with thee.

If thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>_,

and God
<0430>

command
<06680> (8765)

thee [so], then thou shalt be able
<03201> (8804)

to endure
<05975> (8800)_,

and all this people
<05971>

shall also go
<0935> (8799)

to their place
<04725>

in peace
<07965>_.

So Moses
<04872>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

to the voice
<06963>

of his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

and did
<06213> (8799)

all that he had said
<0559> (8804)_.

And Moses
<04872>

chose
<0977> (8799)

able
<02428>

men
<0582>

out of all Israel
<03478>_,

and made
<05414> (8799)

them heads
<07218>

over the people
<05971>_,

rulers
<08269>

of thousands
<0505>_,

rulers
<08269>

of hundreds
<03967>_,

rulers
<08269>

of fifties
<02572>_,

and rulers
<08269>

of tens
<06235>_.

And they judged
<08199> (8804)

the people
<05971>

at all seasons
<06256>_:

the hard
<07186>

causes
<01697>

they brought
<0935> (8686)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

but every small
<06996>

matter
<01697> <01992>

they judged
<08199> (8799)

themselves.

And Moses
<04872>

let his father in law
<02859> (8802)

depart
<07971> (8762)_;

and he went
<03212> (8799)

his way into his own land
<0776>_.
