Deuteronomy 1:9-14

Rotherham(i) 9 So I spake unto you, at that time, saying,––I am unable, by myself, to carry you. 10 Yahweh your God, hath multiplied you,––and, here ye are, today, like the stars of the heavens, for multitude. 11 Yahweh, the God of your fathers, be adding unto you the like of you, a thousand times,––and bless you, as he hath spoken unto you! 12 How should I carry, by myself, the fatigue of you and the burden of you, and your controversies? 13 Set forth, for you––men wise and discerning, and known to your tribes,––that I may appoint them to be heads over you. 14 And ye answered me,––and said, Good, is the word which thou hast spoken, to be done.
