9. Moses continued, "At that time I told you, 'You are too great a burden for me to carry all by myself.
10. The LORD your God has increased your population, making you as numerous as the stars!
11. And may the LORD, the God of your ancestors, multiply you a thousand times more and bless you as he promised! How can I deal with all your problems and bickering?
13. Choose some well-respected men from each tribe who are known for their wisdom and understanding, and I will appoint them as your leaders.'

14. "Then you responded, 'Your plan is a good one.'
15. So I took the wise and respected men you had selected from your tribes and appointed them to serve as judges and officials over you. Some were responsible for a thousand people, some for a hundred, some for fifty, and some for ten.

16. "At that time I instructed the judges, 'You must hear the cases of your fellow Israelites and the foreigners living among you. Be perfectly fair in your decisions
17. and impartial in your judgements. Hear the cases of those who are poor as well as those who are rich. Don't be afraid of anyone's anger, for the decision you make is God's decision. Bring me any cases that are too difficult for you, and I will handle them.'

18. "At that time I gave you instructions about everything you were to do.

19. "Then, just as the LORD our God commanded us we left Mount Sinai and traveled through the great and terrifying wilderness, as you yourselves remember, and headed toward the hill country of the Amorites. When we arrived at Kadeshbarnea,
20. I said to you, 'You have now reached the hill country of the Amorites that the LORD our God is giving us.
21. Look! He has placed the land in front of you. Go and occupy it as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has promised you. Don't be afraid! Don't be discouraged!'

22. 'But you came tom me and said, 'First, let's send out scouts to explore the land for us. They will advise us on the best route to take and which towns we should enter.'

23. This seemed like a good idea to me, so I chose twelve scouts, one from each of your tribes.
24. They headed for the hill country and came to the valley of Eshcol and explored it.
25. They picked some of its fruit and brought it back to us. And they reported, 'The land the LORD our God has given us is indeed a good land.'
Deuteronomy 1:9-25 NLT
