Deuteronomy 1
9 Ref At that time I said to you, I am not able to undertake the care of you by myself;
10 Ref The Lord your God has given you increase, and now you are like the stars of heaven in number.
11 Ref May the Lord, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times greater in number than you are, and give you his blessing as he has said!
12 Ref How is it possible for me by myself to be responsible for you, and undertake the weight of all your troubles and your arguments?
13 Ref Take for yourselves men who are wise, far-seeing, and respected among you, from your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
14 And you made answer and said to me, It is good for us to do as you say.
