Moses Appoints Leaders

⁹ At that time I said, “I am not able to take care of you by myself. ¹⁰ The Lord your God has made you grow in number so that there are as many of you as there are stars in the sky. 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.
