‏ Exodus 18:21

v. 21–22: Jethro told Moses to choose able men from all the people—men who fear God, love the truth, and hate dishonest gain (Exodus 18:21 a). These men would be placed over groups of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens. They would judge smaller matters, and only the most difficult cases would be brought to Moses (Exodus 18:22 b). This plan would make things easier for Moses and for all the people.
