“How is it possible for me by myself to be responsible for you, and undertake the weight of all your troubles and your arguments?”

I also said to you at that time,“I am no longer able to sustain you by myself.
The LORD your God has increased your population to the point that you are now as numerous as the very stars of the sky.
Indeed, may the LORD, the God of your ancestors, make you a thousand times more numerous than you are now, blessing you just as he said he would!
But how can I alone bear up under the burden of your hardship and strife?
Select wise and practical men, those known among your tribes, whom I may appoint as your leaders.”
You replied to me that what I had said to you was good.
So I chose as your tribal leaders wise and well-known men, placing them over you as administrators of groups of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens, and also as other tribal officials.
