First Yisro says:
Then when He selected it says he got:
Why did Moshe lower qualifications from 4 to 1? |

The Even Ezra says that the qualification of Anshei Chayil is the only one that can be verified. The other qualifications can be faked. |

Rashi states in Devarim Chapter 1, Verse 15:
According to Rashi, it would seem that Moshe was only able to find men with some of the traits and not all of them. Yisro was identifying the ideal candidate. However, as we know in life, we don't always get the ideal candidate. |

The Nataeh Eisan answers based on the Medrash that says that the Maan fell for Tzaddikim and the sick at their doors. An the non righteous had to go collect from afar. The sickly also received it at their door. so all Moshe had to do was check if he was an Ish Chayil meaning was he Healthy and the rest was observable based on where the maan fell so really they were all those things, but all he had to Pick was אַנְשֵׁי חַיִל. |

Reb Shloime of Vilna gives a different answer. He says that a convert can not be a Judge. Therefore all the people Moshe could Hire as Judges where born Jews that got out of Mitzrayim and hence righteous so the Prefab had all the other qualifications just אַנְשֵׁי חַיִל which Rashi says means Rich so they would not need others money. Yisro did not know this halacha as he said מִכָּל הָעָם including the Erev Rav Hence he had four qualification and Moshe needed only one. |
