6“The LordH3068 our GodH430 11spokeH1696 to us at HorebH2722, sayingH559, ‘You have stayedH3427 longH7227 enoughH7227 at thisH2088 mountainH2022. 7TurnH6437 and setH5265 outH5265 onH5265 your journeyH5265, and goH935 to 12the hillH2022 countryH2022 of the AmoritesH567, and to allH3605 their neighborsH7934 in the ArabahH6160, in the hillH2022 countryH2022, in the lowlandH8219, in 13the 14NegevH5045, 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 inH935 and takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 15sworeH7650 to giveH5414 to your fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290, and their 16descendantsH2233 afterH310 them.’

9“And I spokeH559 to you at that timeH6256, sayingH559, ‘17I amH3201 not ableH3201 to endureH5375 you aloneH905. 10The LordH3068 your GodH430 has 18multipliedH7235 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 thousandH505 timesH6471 more than you are, and blessH1288 you, 19justH3512 asH3512 He has 20promisedH1696 you! 12HowH351 can I aloneH905 endureH5375 the burdenH2960 and weightH4853 of you and your strifeH7379? 1321ObtainH3051 for yourselves menH376 who are wiseH2450, discerningH995, and informedH3045 from your tribesH7626, and I will appointH7760 them as your headsH7218.’ 14And you answeredH6030 me and saidH559, ‘The thingH1697 whichH834 you have saidH1696 to doH6213 is goodH2896.’ 15So I tookH3947 the headsH7218 of your tribesH7626, wiseH2450 and informedH3045 menH376, and 22appointedH5414 them as headsH7218 overH5921 you, commandersH8269 of thousandsH505, 23hundredsH3967, 24fiftiesH2572, and 25tensH6235, and officersH7860 for your tribesH7626.

16“Then I orderedH6680 your judgesH8199 at that timeH6256, sayingH559, ‘HearH8085 the cases betweenH996 your fellowH251 countrymenH251 and 26judgeH8199 righteouslyH6664 betweenH996 a personH376 and his fellowH251 countrymanH251, or the strangerH1616 who is with him. 1727You are not to 28showH5234 partialityH5234H6440 in judgmentH4941; you shall hearH8085 the smallH6996 and the greatH1419 alike. You are 29not to be afraidH1481 of any personH376, for the judgmentH4941 isH7185 God’sH430. 30The caseH1697 that is tooH4480 difficultH7185 for you, you shall bringH7126 to me, and I will hearH8085 it.’ 18At that timeH6256 31I commandedH6680 you allH3605 the thingsH1697 that you were to doH6213.

19“Then we setH5265 outH5265 from 32HorebH2722, and wentH1980 through allH3605 that 33greatH1419 and terribleH3372 wildernessH4057 that you sawH7200 on the wayH1870 to the 34hillH2022 countryH2022 of the AmoritesH567, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 our GodH430 had commandedH6680 us; and we cameH935 to 35Kadesh-barneaH6947.
