6“The LordH3068 our GodH430 11spokeH1696 to us at HorebH2722, sayingH559, ‘You have 12stayedH3427 longH7227 enoughH7227 at thisH2088 mountainH2022. 7TurnH6437 and setH5265 your journeyH5265, and goH935 to 13the hillH2022 countryH2022 of the AmoritesH567, and to allH3605 their neighborsH7934 in the ArabahH6160, in the hillH2022 countryH2022 and in the lowlandH8219 and in 14the 15NegevH5045 and by the seacoastH3220H2348, the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, and LebanonH3844, as farH5704 as the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578. 8SeeH7200, I have placedH5414 the landH776 beforeH6440 you; goH935 in and possessH3423 the landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 16sworeH7650 to giveH5414 to your fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290, to them and their 17descendantsH2233 afterH310 them.’

9“I spokeH559 to you at that timeH6256, sayingH559, ‘18I am not ableH3201 to bearH5375 the burden of you aloneH905. 10The LordH3068 your GodH430 has 19multipliedH7235 you, and beholdH2009, you are this dayH3117 like the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 in numberH7230. 11May the LordH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, increaseH3254 you a thousand-foldH505H6471 moreH3254 than you are and blessH1288 you, 20justH3512 as He has 21promisedH1696 you! 12HowH351 can I aloneH905 bearH5375 the loadH2960 and burdenH4853 of you and your strifeH7379? 132223ChooseH3051 wiseH2450 and discerningH995 and experiencedH3045 menH376 from your tribesH7626, and I will appointH7760 them as your headsH7218.’ 14You answeredH6030 me and saidH559, ‘The thingH1697 whichH834 you have saidH1696 to doH6213 is goodH2896.’ 15So I tookH3947 the headsH7218 of your tribesH7626, wiseH2450 and experiencedH3045 menH376, and 24appointedH5414 them headsH7218 overH5921 you, leadersH8269 of thousandsH505 and 25of hundredsH3967, 26of fiftiesH2572 and 27of tensH6235, and officersH7860 for your tribesH7626.

16“Then I chargedH6680 your judgesH8199 at that timeH6256, sayingH559, ‘HearH8085 the cases betweenH996 your 28fellowH251 countrymenH251, and 29judgeH8199 righteouslyH6664 betweenH996 a manH376 and his 30fellowH251 countrymanH251, or the alienH1616 who is with him. 1731You shall not showH5234 partialityH5234H6440 in judgmentH4941; you shall hearH8085 the smallH6996 and the greatH1419 alike. You shall 32not fearH1481 33manH376, for the judgmentH4941 is God’sH430. 34The caseH1697 that is tooH4480 hardH7185 for you, you shall bringH7126 to me, and I will hearH8085 it.’ 1835I commandedH6680 you at that timeH6256 allH3605 the thingsH1697 that you should doH6213.

19“Then we setH5265 out from 36HorebH2722, and wentH1980 through allH3605 that 37greatH1419 and terribleH3372 wildernessH4057 whichH834 you sawH7200 on the wayH1870 to the 38hillH2022 countryH2022 of the AmoritesH567, justH3512 as the LordH3068 our GodH430 had commandedH6680 us; and we cameH935 to 39Kadesh-barneaH6947.
