Deuteronomy 1:9-14

Leeser(i) 9 And I said unto you at that time, as followeth, I am not able alone to bear you: 10 The Lord your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude. 11 May the Lord the God of your fathers make you a thousand times as many more as ye are; and bless you, as he hath spoken unto you. 12 How can I by myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife! 13 Furnish for yourselves wise and understanding men, and those known among your tribes, and I will place them as chiefs over you. 14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good to do.
