8. See, I have set ha'aretz (the land) before you; go in and possess ha'aretz which Hashem swore unto Avoteichem, Avraham, Yitzchak, and Ya'akov, to give unto them and to their zera after them.
9. And I spoke unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear the burden of you by myself alone;
10. Hashem Eloheichem hath multiplied you, and, see, ye are today as numerous as the kokhavei HaShomayim.
11. (Hashem Elohei Avoteichem increase you a thousand times over and bless you, as He hath promised you!)
12. How can I myself alone bear your problems, and your massa and your strife?
13. Take you anashim chachamim, men of wisdom and understanding, who are known among your tribes, and I will set them over you.
14. And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is tov for us to do.
