23 If
you (Moses) do this thing, and God so commands you(Moses), then you(Moses) will be able to endure,
and all this people will also go to their place in peace.”

Moses heeded the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said.
25 And
Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people: rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of
fifties, and rulers of tens.

TORAH: Exodus 19:3-8 (NKJV)
3 And
Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the
children of Israel: 4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.
5 Now
therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for
all the earth is Mine.
6 And
7 So
you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before them all these words which the LORD commanded him.
8 Then
all the people answered together and said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do.” So Moses brought back the words of the
people to the LORD.
