Exodus 18:24 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 18:24

So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law
Considered what he said, weighed it well in his mind, and judged it good advice, and determined to follow it:

and did all that he had said;
by choosing such men as he directed to, and committing the judgment of the people to them, as follows:

Exodus 18:24 In-Context

22 Have these men judge the people at all times. Then they can bring you any major issue, but all minor cases they can judge on their own, so that your load may be lightened as they share it with you.

23 If you follow this advice and God so directs you, then you will be able to endure, and all these people can go home in peace.”

24 Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said.

25 So Moses chose capable men from all Israel and made them heads over the people as leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.

26 And they judged the people at all times; they would bring the difficult cases to Moses, but any minor issue they would judge themselves.
