² and the princes of Israel (heads of the house of their fathers, they `are' princes of the tribes, they who are standing over those numbered) bring near,

²⁵ and Moses chooseth men of ability out of all Israel, and maketh them chiefs over the people, heads of thousands, heads of hundreds, heads of fifties, and heads of tens,

⁴ and with you there is a man for a tribe, each is a head to the house of his fathers.

¹⁶ These `are' those called of the company, princes of the tribes of their fathers; they `are' heads of the thousands of Israel.

¹⁷ `These `are' the names of the men who give to you the inheritance of the land: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun,

¹⁸ and one prince -- one prince -- for a tribe ye do take to give the land by inheritance.

¹⁹ `And these `are' the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;

²⁰ and of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Aminihud;

¹³ Give for yourselves men, wise and intelligent, and known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads;

¹⁴ and ye answer me and say, Good `is' the thing which thou hast spoken -- to do.

¹⁵ `And I take the heads of your tribes, men, wise and known, and I appoint them heads over you, princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of tens, and authorities, for your tribes.

¹⁶ And I command your judges at that time, saying, Hearkening between your brethren -- then ye have judged righteousness between a man, and his brother, and his sojourner;

¹⁷ ye do not discern faces in judgment; as the little so the great ye do hear; ye are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God's, and the thing which is too hard for you, ye bring near unto me, and I have heard it;
