Exodus 18:21 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 18:21

19 Listen now to my voice; I will give you¹ counsel, and God will be with you: Stand ^abefore God for the people, so that you may ^bbring the difficulties to God.

20 And you shall ^ateach them the statutes and the laws, and show them the way in which they must walk and ^bthe work they must do.

21 Moreover you shall select from all the people ^aable men, such as ^bfear God, ^cmen of truth, ^dhating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

22 And let them judge the people at all times. ^aThen it will be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they themselves shall judge. So it will be easier for you, for ^bthey will bear the burden with you.

23 If you do this thing, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all this people will also go to their ^aplace in peace.”
