Exodus 18:26

And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

Qui judicabant plebem omni tempore : quidquid autem gravius erat, referebant ad eum, faciliora tantummodo judicantes.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐκρίνοσαν τὸν λαὸν πᾶσαν ὥραν· πᾶν δὲ ῥῆμα ὑπέρογκον ἀνεφέροσαν ἐπὶ Μωυσῆν, πᾶν δὲ ῥῆμα ἐλαφρὸν ἐκρίνοσαν αὐτοί.

LXX

And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
