Deuteronomy 1:9-18 - Leaders For The Tribes
9 And I spake to you at that time, saying, I shall not be able alone to bear you: 10 Jehovah your God multiplied you, and behold, you this day as the stars of the heavens for multitude. 11 Jehovah the God of your fathers will add to you as ye a thousand times, and he will bless you as he spake to you. 12 How shall I bear alone your burden and your lifting up and your strife 13 Give to yourselves men wise and known to your tribes, and I will set them for your heads.
14 And ye will answer me and say, Good the word which thou spakest to do.
15 And I will take the heads of your tribes, men wise and known, and I will give them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains and hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and scribes for your tribes. 16 And I shall command your judges in that time, saying, Hear between your brethren, and judge justice between a man and between his brother and between his stranger. 17 Ye shall not look upon faces in judgment; as the small so the great shall ye hear; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is to God; and the word which shall be hard for you, ye shall bring to me and I heard it 18 And I will command you in that time all the words which ye shall do.
