Question: Why does Moses feel overwhelmed with his job as a judge for Israelites?

 

Google: What are the weakness of Moses as a leader?

Despite Moses' success as a leader, he also had human imperfections such as a temper, a speech impediment, fear and self-doubt.  Yet, rather than representing weaknesses, these human flaws ultimately contributed to his leadership ability because he had to struggle with them and, in many cases, transcend them.

How did Moses respond to the complaints of the Israelites?

He succumbs to their complaining and begins to complain, too.  Moses takes his complaining straight to the Lord, “Hey, God, why have you treated me, your great servant, so badly?  I didn't give birth to them!  I can't carry them; they are too heavy for me.

Why was Moses sitting alone as judge and doing everything himself?

“Why do you alone sit as judge, while all these people stand around you from morning till evening?"   Moses answered him, "Because the people come to me to seek God's will. Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought to me, and I decide between the parties and inform them of God's decrees and laws”.

"Why did the LORD raise up judges for the Israelites”?

They did not cease from their own doings nor from their stubborn ways.  Nevertheless, the LORD raised up judges who delivered them: Because of His great love for His people, God raised up judges – heroic leaders – to rescue Israel from their calamity.

Who suggested to Moses to appoint judges?

Jethro

Exodus 18.  Jethro comes to Moses bringing Moses' wife and sons and offers sacrifices to the Lord—Moses sits in the judgment seat and hears all cases—Jethro counsels Moses to teach the Law, to appoint lesser judges, and to delegate power to them.

Who was the right hand of Moses who became the first judge of Israel?

According to the biblical book named after him, Joshua was the personally appointed successor to Moses (Deuteronomy 31:1–8; 34:9) and a charismatic warrior who led Israel in the conquest of Canaan after the Exodus from Egypt.
