Deuteronomy 1:13-15

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹³ Provide for yourselves, tribe by tribe, men who are wise and perceptive and with known ability, and I will appoint them as your leaders.”

¹⁴ Then you answered me, “What you propose to do is good.” ¹⁵ So I took the heads of your tribes, men who were wise and of known ability, and I appointed them as heads over you, commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds and commanders of fifties and commanders of tens, as well as officers for your tribes.
