8. Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their descendants after them.
9. And I spoke unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
10. The LORD your God has multiplied you, and, behold, you are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11. (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more than you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!)
12. How can I myself alone bear your weight, and your burden, and your strife?
13. Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
