Deuteronomy 1:9-14

Webster(i) 9 And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone: 10 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude. 11 (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!) 12 How can I alone bear your encumbrance, and your burden, and your strife? 13 Take ye wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you. 14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
