This comes after Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, observed Moses trying to judge all the disputes among the Israelites by himself from morning until evening. Jethro advised Moses to delegate responsibility by appointing capable leaders over groups of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens to handle smaller matters, while Moses would focus on the major cases and teaching God's laws.
