May the LORD, your ancestors' God, continue to multiply you—a thousand times more! And may God bless you, just as he promised.
12
But how can I handle all your troubles, burdens, and disputes by myself?
13
Now, for each of your tribes, choose wise, discerning, and well-regarded individuals. I will appoint them as your leaders.
14
You answered me: "What you have proposed is a good idea."
15
So I took leading individuals from your tribes, people who were wise and well-regarded, and I set them up as your leaders. There were commanders over thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens, as well as officials for each of your tribes.
