Deuteronomy 1:14

14 tunc respondistis mihi bona res est quam vis facere

Deuteronomy 1:14 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 1:14

And ye answered me and said
As the speech of Moses to the people is not expressed before, so neither this answer of theirs to him:

the thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do;
to look out for and present persons to him as before described; this they saw was for their own good and profit, as well as for the ease of Moses, and therefore readily agreed to it.

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

15 tulique de tribubus vestris viros sapientes et nobiles et constitui eos principes tribunos et centuriones et quinquagenarios ac decanos qui docerent vos singula

16 praecepique eis dicens audite illos et quod iustum est iudicate sive civis sit ille sive peregrinus
