Deuteronomy 1:9-14

CLV(i) 9 I spoke to you at that time saying:I am not able to bear you alone. 10 Yahweh your Elohim, He has made you multiply, and behold, you are today like the stars of the heavens for multitude. 11 May Yahweh Elohim of your fathers add to you a thousand times as many as you are, and may He bless you just as He promised to you. 12 How shall I alone bear the encumbrance of you, and the load of you and your contention? 13 Grant yourselves men wise and understanding, and known to your tribes, that I may place them as your heads. 14 And you answered me and said:The word that you speak for us to do is good.
