📚 Historical Context
This verse comes from Jethro's advice to Moses about organizing the leadership of Israel in the wilderness. Moses had been trying to judge all the people's disputes by himself, which was overwhelming. Jethro, Moses' father-in-law and a Midianite priest, suggested appointing other capable leaders to help share the burden of governing the people.
