13 Choose wise, understanding, and knowledgeable men from among your tribes, and I will make them1 heads over you.’
14 And you answered me and said, ‘The thing which you have told us to do is good.’
15 So I took athe heads of your tribes, wise and knowledgeable men, and1 made them heads over you, leaders of thousands, leaders of hundreds, leaders of fifties, leaders of tens, and officers for your tribes.
16 “Then I commanded your judges at that time, saying, ‘Hear the cases between your brethren, and ajudge righteously between a man and his bbrother or the stranger who is with him.
