10 The Lord your God has so multiplied you that today you are as numerous as the stars of the sky.
11 May Yahweh, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times more, and bless you as He promised you.
12 But how can I bear your troubles, burdens, and disputes by myself?
13 Appoint for yourselves wise, understanding, and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will make them your leaders.
14 “You replied to me, ‘What you propose to do is good.’
15 “So I took the leaders of your tribes, wise and respected men, and set them over you as leaders: officials for thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens, and officers for your tribes.
16 I commanded your judges at that time: Hear the cases between your brothers, and judge rightly between a man and his brother or a foreign resident.
