Deuteronomy 1:13

13 Choose wise, understanding, and experienced men, according to your tribes, and I will appoint them as your heads.'

Deuteronomy 1:13 In-Context

11 May the LORD, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!
12 How can I bear alone the weight and burden of you and your strife?
13 Choose wise, understanding, and experienced men, according to your tribes, and I will appoint them as your heads.'
14 And you answered me, 'The thing that you have spoken is good for us to do.'
15 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise and experienced men, and set them as heads over you, commanders of thousands, commanders of hundreds, commanders of fifties, commanders of tens, and officers, throughout your tribes.
