8. Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Jehovah sware unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
9. And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
10. Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11. Jehovah, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!
12. How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
13. Take you wise men, and understanding, and known, according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.
