Explanation preview
Moses has just appointed capable, trustworthy men as leaders over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens, on the advice of his father-in-law Jethro, a Midianite priest. This verse describes how that system worked in practice: the appointed judges handled routine disputes themselves, while hard cases went up to Moses.
