Moses Appoints Judge Deut, 1:9 ( EX, 18:13-27 )

9 Moses said to the people." While we were still at mount Sinai, I told you." The responsibility for leading you is too much for me. I can't do it alone. 10 The LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky. 11 may the LORD, the God of your ancestors make you increase a thousand times more and make you prosperous as promised! 12 But how can I alone bear the heavy responsibility for setting your disputes? 13 Choose some wise, understanding, and experienced men from each tribe, and I will put them in charge of you; 14 And you agreed that this was a good thing to do. 15 So I took the wise and experienced leaders you chose from your tribes, and I placed them in charge of you. Some were responsible for a thousand people, some for a hundred, some for fifty and some for ten, I also appointed other officials throughout the tribes.
