8Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Jehovah sware unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
9And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
10Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11Jehovah, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!
12How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
13Take you wise men, and understanding, and known, according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.
14And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good [for us] to do.
