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.
16I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the sojourner who is with him.
17You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike; you shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God`s: and the cause that is too hard for you you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.
