Deuteronomy 1:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² I alone am not able to bear your business, and the charge of you and your differences.

¹³ Let me have from among you wise and understanding men, and such whose conversation is approved among your tribes, that I may appoint them your rulers.

¹⁴ Then you answered me: The thing is good which thou meanest to do.
