Deuteronomy 1:9-17

9And I spake unto youH3808 at that time, sayingH559, I am notH3808 ableH3201 to bearH5375 youH3808 myselfH905 aloneH905:

10The LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath multipliedH7235 youH3117, and, beholdH2009, ye are this dayH3117 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 for multitudeH7230.

11The LORDH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, makeH3254 youH834 a thousandH505 timesH6471 soH834 many moreH3254 as ye are, and blessH1288 youH834, as he hath promisedH1696 youH834!

12HowH349 canH349 I myselfH905 aloneH905 bearH5375 your cumbrance, and your burdenH4853, and your strifeH7379?

13TakeH7760 youH7760 wiseH2450 menH376, and understandingH995, and knownH3045, accordingH376 to your tribesH7626, and I will makeH7760 them headsH7218 over youH7760.

14And ye answeredH559 meH1696, and saidH559, The thingH1697 whichH834 thou hast spokenH1696 is goodH2896 for usH559 to doH6213.

15SoH3947 I tookH3947 the headsH7218 of your tribesH7626, wiseH2450 menH376, and knownH3045, and madeH5414 them headsH7218 over youH5414, captainsH8269 of thousandsH505, and captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967, and captainsH8269 of fiftiesH2572, and captainsH8269 of tensH6235, and officersH8269, accordingH5921 to your tribesH7626.

16And I chargedH6680 your judgesH8199 at that time, sayingH559, HearH8085 the causes betweenH996 your brethrenH251, and judgeH8199 righteouslyH6664 betweenH996 a manH376 and his brotherH251, and the strangerH1616 that is with him.

17Ye shall notH3808 respectH6440 personsH376 in judgmentH4941; ye shall hearH8085 the smallH6996 and the greatH1419 alikeH6440; ye shall notH3808 be afraidH1481 of the faceH6440 of manH376; for the judgmentH4941 is God’sH430: and the causeH4941 that is tooH4480 hardH7185 for youH834 ye shall bringH7126 unto meH413, and I will hearH8085 it.
