11 ¡Jehová Dios de vuestros padres añada sobre vosotros como sois mil veces, y os bendiga, como os ha prometido!

12 ¿Cómo llevaré yo solo vuestras molestias, vuestras cargas, y vuestros pleitos?

13 Dad[me] de entre vosotros, de vuestras tribus, varones sabios y entendidos y expertos, para que yo los ponga por vuestros jefes.

14 Y me respondisteis, y dijisteis: Bueno es hacer lo que has dicho.

15 Y tomé los principales de vuestras tribus, varones sabios y expertos, y púselos por jefes sobre vosotros, jefes de millares, y jefes de cientos, y jefes de cincuenta, y cabos de diez, y gobernadores á vuestras tribus.
