^{10 Ref} Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

^{11 Ref} Jehovah, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!

^{12 Ref} How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?

^{13 Ref} Take you wise men, and understanding, and known, according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.
