The King James Version Bible

Deuteronomy 1:9-14

  1. And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:

  2. The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

  3. (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)

  4. How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?

  5. Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.

  6. And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
