9 ΒΆ And I spake vnto you at that time, saying, I am not able to beare you my selfe alone:
10 The Lord your God hath multiplied you, and beholde, you are this day as the starres of heauen for multitude.
11 (The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many moe as ye are, and blesse you as he hath promised you.)
12 How can I my selfe alone beare your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
13 Take ye wise men, and vnderstanding, and knowen among your tribes, and I will make them rulers ouer you.
14 And ye answered me, and saide, The thing which thou hast spoken, is good for vs to doe.
15 So I tooke the chiefe of your tribes, wise men, and knowen, and made them heads ouer you, captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreds, and captaines ouer fifties, and captaines ouer tennes, and officers among your tribes.
16 And I charged your Iudges at that time, saying, Heare the causes betweene your brethren, and iudge righteously betweene euery man and his brother, & the stranger that is with him.
17 Ye shall not respect persons in iudgement, but you shall heare the small aswell as the great: you shall not bee afraid of the face of man, for the iudgment is Gods: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it vnto me, and I will heare it.
18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should doe.
