Deuteronomy 1:14 Context
12How can I my selfe alone beare your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife? 13Take ye wise men, and vnderstanding, and knowen among your tribes, and I will make them rulers ouer you. 14And ye answered me, and saide, The thing which thou hast spoken, is good for vs to doe. 15So I tooke the chiefe of your tribes, wise men, and knowen, and made them heads ouer you, captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreds, and captaines ouer fifties, and captaines ouer tennes, and officers among your tribes. 16And I charged your Iudges at that time, saying, Heare the causes betweene your brethren, and iudge righteously betweene euery man and his brother, & the stranger that is with him.
