Exodus 18:21-22

21 Moreover, look for a able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, and place such men over the people as chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens. 22 And b let them judge the people at all times. c Every 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 d bear the burden with you.
