8723. Verses 24-27 And Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he said. And Moses chose men of vigour from all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. And they will judge the people at all times; a difficult matter they will bring to Moses, and every small matter they will judge themselves. And Moses sent his father-in-law away; and he went his way to his own land.

'And Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he said' means that the arrangement ordained by Divine Good was put into effect. 'And Moses chose men of vigour from all Israel' means the choice of truths to which good could be joined among those belonging to the spiritual Church. 'And made them heads over the people' means influx into those truths. 'Rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens' means successive levels of first and foremost truths below the truth coming forth directly from God. 'And they will judge the people at all times' means unceasing dependence on the level above. 'A difficult matter they will bring to Moses' means mediation and intercession. 'And every small matter they will judge themselves' means the appearance that some particular and specific things derive from another source. 'And Moses sent his father-in-law away' means the fully adjusted state of God's truth. 'And he went his way to his own land' means to the Divine Himself.
