9I spoke to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
10Yahweh your God has multiplied you, and, behold, you are this day as the stars of the sky for multitude.
11Yahweh, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!
12How can I myself alone bear your encumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
13Take wise men of understanding and well known according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.
14You answered me, and said, The thing which you have spoken is good [for us] to do.
15So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.
