7 turn and take your journey and go to the mount of the Amorite and unto all the places nearby, in the plain, in the hills, and in the valleys and to the Negev and by the sea side to the land of the Canaanite and unto Lebanon unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 Behold, I have given the land in your presence; go in and possess the land which the Lord swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give unto them and to their seed after them.
9 And I spoke unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone;
10 the Lord your God has multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11 Let the Lord God of your fathers add upon you a thousand times so many more as ye are and bless you, as he has promised!
12 How can I myself alone bear your troubles and your burdens and your strife?
13 Give me from among you, of your tribes, wise and understanding and expert men, and I will make them the head over you.
