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

(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!)

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

And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.
