Deuteronomy 1:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ I pray that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, will give you a thousand times more people and do all the wonderful things he promised. ¹² But I cannot take care of your problems, your troubles, and your arguments by myself. ¹³ So choose some men from each tribe—wise men who have understanding and experience—and I will make them leaders over you.”
