*
How can I bear alone the weight and burden of you and your strife ?
*
Choose wise ,
understanding ,
and experienced men ,
according to your tribes ,
and I will appoint them as your heads .'
*
And you answered me , `
The thing that you have spoken is good for us to do .'
*
So I took the heads of your tribes ,
wise and experienced men ,
and set them as heads over you ,
commanders of thousands ,
commanders of hundreds ,
commanders of fifties ,
commanders of tens ,
and officers ,
throughout your tribes .
*
And I charged your judges at that time , `
Hear the cases between your brethren ,
and judge righteously between a man and his brother or the alien that is with him .
