²¹ But choose some ·capable [virtuous; noble] men from among the people—men who ·respect [fear] God [Prov. 1:7], who can be trusted, and who ·will not change their decisions for money [^Lhate dishonest profit]. Make these men officers over the people, to rule over groups of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens. ²² Let these officers ·solve the disagreements [consider cases; judge] among the people all the time. They can bring the ·hard [^Lbig] cases to you, but they can ·decide [judge] the ·simple [^Lsmall] cases themselves. That will make it easier for you, because they will share the work with you. ²³ If you do this as God commands you, then you will be able to do your job, and all the people will go ·home [to their place] ·with their disagreements solved [^Lin peace].”
