8see, I have set before you the land; go in and possess the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them, and to their seed after them.
9`And I speak unto you at that time, saying, I am not able by myself to bear you;
10Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and lo, ye [are] to-day as the stars of the heavens for multitude;
11Jehovah, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as ye [are], a thousand times, and doth bless you as He hath spoken to you.
12`How do I bear by myself your pressure, and your burden, and your strife?
13Give for yourselves men, wise and intelligent, and known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads;
14and ye answer me and say, Good [is] the thing which thou hast spoken -- to do.
