Moses Appoints Leaders and Judges

9

And I spake vnto you the same time, saying, I am not able to beare you my selfe alone:

10

The Lord your God hath multiplied you: and beholde, ye are this day as the starres of heauen in nomber:

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

Howe can I alone beare your combrance and your charge, and your strife?

13

Bring you men of wisedome and of vnderstanding, and knowen among your tribes, and I will make them rulers ouer you:

14

Then ye answered me and said, The thing is good that thou hast commanded vs to doe.

15

So I tooke the chiefe of your tribes wise and knowen men, and made them rulers ouer you, captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreds, and captaines ouer fiftie, and captaines ouer tenne, and officers among your tribes.

16

And I charged your iudges that same time, saying, Heare the controuersies betweene your brethren, and iudge righteously betweene euery man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.

17

Ye shall haue no respect of person in iudgement, but shall heare the small aswell as the great: yee shall not feare the face of man: for the iudgement is Gods: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring vnto me, and I will heare it.

18

Also I commanded you the same time all the things which ye should doe.
