1let them judge the people at all times.
2Every great matter they shall bring to you, but any small matter they shall decide themselves. So it will be easier for you, and they will
3bear the burden with you.
23
If you do this, God will direct you, you will be
4able to endure, and all this people also will go to their place in peace."

25

26
And
6they judged the people at all times. Any hard case they brought to Moses, but any small matter they decided themselves.
27
Then Moses let his father-in-law depart, and
7he went away to his own country.
