19. Hearken now to my voice: I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee. Be thou for the people with God and bring the matters before God
20. and teach them the statutes and the laws, and make known to them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do.
21. But do thou provide among all the people able men, such as fear God men of truth, hating covetousness; and place them over them, chiefs of thousands, chiefs of hundreds, chiefs of fifties, and chiefs of tens,
22. that they may judge the people at all times; and it shall be that they shall bring to thee every great matter, and that they shall judge every small matter, and they shall lighten the task on thee, and they shall bear it with thee.
