Deuteronomy 1:13-15

International Standard Version

¹³ Choose for yourselves wise and discerning men, known to your tribes, and appoint them as your leaders. ¹⁴ You answered by saying that this plan is a good thing. ¹⁵ So I chose leaders from your tribes, wise and respected men, and I appointed them over you—commanders of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens.
