¹¹ May the Lord, the God of your ancestors, increase you a thousand times more and bless you, as he has promised you!^{(A) 12} But how can I bear the heavy burden of your disputes all by myself? ¹³ Choose for each of your tribes individuals who are wise, discerning, and reputable, and I will make them your leaders.’^(B)
