21 Além disto procurarás dentre o povo homens capazes, tementes a Deus, homens de verdade, que aborrecem a avareza; a estes porás sobre eles por maiorais de mil, maiorais de cem, maiorais de cinqüenta e maiorais de dez;

22 e julguem estes ao povo em todo o tempo. Toda a causa grave a trarão a ti, mas toda a causa pequena a julgarão eles mesmos; assim será mais leve para ti, e eles levarão a carga contigo.

21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: 22 And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.
