So I took the leading men of your tribes, wise and respected men, and appointed them to have authority over you—as commanders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens and as tribal officials.
So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
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.
So I took the wise and respected men you had selected from your tribes and appointed them to serve as judges and officials over you. Some were responsible for a thousand people, some for a hundred, some for fifty, and some for ten.
So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and

The principal persons among them, that were remarkable and well

and made them heads over you;
rulers of them, as follows:
captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and
captains over fifties, and captains over tens;
see ( Exodus
18:21-25 )
and officers among your tribes;
which Jarchi interprets of such that bind malefactors and scourge
them, according to the decree of the judges, even the
executioners of justice; and so the Jews commonly understand them
to be, though some have thought they were judges also.
