Deuteronomy 1:12

12 non valeo solus vestra negotia sustinere et pondus ac iurgia

Deuteronomy 1:12 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 1:12

How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden,
and your strife?
] His meaning is, that he could not hear and try all their causes, and determine all their law suits, and decide the strifes and controversies which arose between them; it was too heavy for him, and brought too much trouble and incumbrance upon him.

Deuteronomy 1:12 In-Context

10 non possum solus sustinere vos quia Dominus Deus vester multiplicavit vos et estis hodie sicut stellae caeli plurimae

11 Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum addat ad hunc numerum multa milia et benedicat vobis sicut locutus est

12 non valeo solus vestra negotia sustinere et pondus ac iurgia

13 date e vobis viros sapientes et gnaros et quorum conversatio sit probata in tribubus vestris ut ponam eos vobis principes

14 tunc respondistis mihi bona res est quam vis facere
