Deuteronomy 1:11-13

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ May the Lord, the God of your fathers, multiply you a thousand times over and bless you, as he has promised you. ¹² How can I handle your problems and your burdens and your disputes all by myself? ¹³ Choose some wise, prudent, and respected men from your tribesmen, and I will appoint them as your leaders.”
