"Furthermore, you shall ^(F1)select out of all the people ^(C1)able men ^(C2)who fear God, men of truth, those who ^(C3)hate dishonest gain; and you shall place these over them as leaders of thousands, ^(F2)of hundreds, ^(F2)of fifties, and ^(F2)of tens.

"Let them judge the people at all times; and let it be ^(C1)that they will bring to you every major matter, but they will judge every minor matter themselves. So it will be easier for you, and ^(C2)they will carry the burden with you.

"If you do this thing and God so commands you, then you will be able to ^(F1)endure, and all ^(F2)these people also will go to ^(F3)their places in peace."

So Moses listened ^(F1)to his father-in-law and did everything that he had said.

Moses chose ^(C1)able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, leaders of thousands, ^(F1)of hundreds, ^(F1)of fifties, and ^(F1)of tens.
