* "
At that time I said to you , `
I am not able alone to bear you ;
*
the LORD your God has multiplied you ,
and behold ,
you are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude .
*
May the LORD ,
the God of your fathers ,
make you a thousand times as many as you are ,
and bless you ,
as he has promised you !
*
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 .'
