Exodus 18:17-26

18:17

And Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, The thing
<01697>

that thou doest
<06213> (8802)

[is] not good
<02896>_.

18:18

Thou wilt surely
<05034> (8800)

wear away
<05034> (8799)_,

both thou, and this people
<05971>

that [is] with thee: for this thing
<01697>

[is] too heavy
<03515>

for thee; thou art not able
<03201> (8799)

to perform
<06213> (8800)

it thyself alone. {Thou wilt...: Heb. Fading thou wilt fade}

18:19

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

now unto my voice
<06963>_,

I will give thee counsel
<03289> (8799)_,

and God
<0430>

shall be
<01961> (8798)

with thee: Be thou for the people
<05971>

to God-ward
<04136> <0430>_,

that thou mayest bring
<0935> (8689)

the causes
<01697>

unto God
<0430>_:

18:20

And thou shalt teach
<02094> (8689) <0853>

them ordinances
<02706>

and laws
<08451>_,

and shalt shew
<03045> (8689)

them the way
<01870>

wherein they must walk
<03212> (8799)_,

and the work
<04639>

that they must do
<06213> (8799)_.

18:21

Moreover thou shalt provide
<02372> (8799)

out of all the people
<05971>

able
<02428>

men
<0582>_,

such as fear
<03373>

God
<0430>_,

men
<0582>

of truth
<0571>_,

hating
<08130> (8802)

covetousness
<01215>_;

and place
<07760> (8804)

[such] over them, [to be] rulers
<08269>

of thousands
<0505>_,

[and] rulers
<08269>

of hundreds
<03967>_,

rulers
<08269>

of fifties
<02572>_,

and rulers
<08269>

of tens
<06235>_:

18:22

And let them judge
<08199> (8804)

the people
<05971>

at all seasons
<06256>_:

and it shall be, [that] every great
<01419>

matter
<01697>

they shall bring
<0935> (8686)

unto thee, but every small
<06996>

matter
<01697>

they shall judge
<08199> (8799)_:

so shall it be easier
<07043> (8685)

for thyself, and they shall bear
<05375> (8804)

[the burden] with thee.

18:23

If thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>_,

and God
<0430>

command
<06680> (8765)

thee [so], then thou shalt be able
<03201> (8804)

to endure
<05975> (8800)_,

and all this people
<05971>

shall also go
<0935> (8799)

to their place
<04725>

in peace
<07965>_.

18:24

So Moses
<04872>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

to the voice
<06963>

of his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

and did
<06213> (8799)

all that he had said
<0559> (8804)_.

18:25

And Moses
<04872>

chose
<0977> (8799)

able
<02428>

men
<0582>

out of all Israel
<03478>_,

and made
<05414> (8799)

them heads
<07218>

over the people
<05971>_,

rulers
<08269>

of thousands
<0505>_,

rulers
<08269>

of hundreds
<03967>_,

rulers
<08269>

of fifties
<02572>_,

and rulers
<08269>

of tens
<06235>_.

18:26

And they judged
<08199> (8804)

the people
<05971>

at all seasons
<06256>_:

the hard
<07186>

causes
<01697>

they brought
<0935> (8686)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

but every small
<06996>

matter
<01697> <01992>

they judged
<08199> (8799)

themselves.

Numbers 11:11-13

11:11

And Moses
<04872>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

Wherefore hast thou afflicted
<07489> (8689)

thy servant
<05650>_?

and wherefore have I not found
<04672> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in thy sight
<05869>_,

that thou layest
<07760> (8800)

the burden
<04853>

of all this people
<05971>

upon me?

11:12

Have I conceived
<02029> (8804)

all this people
<05971>_?

have I begotten
<03205> (8804)

them, that thou shouldest say
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Carry
<05375> (8798)

them in thy bosom
<02436>_,

as a nursing father
<0539> (8802)

beareth
<05375> (8799)

the sucking child
<03243> (8802)_,

unto the land
<0127>

which thou swarest
<07650> (8738)

unto their fathers
<01>_?

11:13

Whence
<0370>

should I have flesh
<01320>

to give
<05414> (8800)

unto all this people
<05971>_?

for they weep
<01058> (8799)

unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Give
<05414> (8798)

us flesh
<01320>_,

that we may eat
<0398> (8799)_.

Deuteronomy 1:9-14

1:9

And I spake
<0559> (8799)

unto you at that time
<06256>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I am not able
<03201> (8799)

to bear
<05375> (8800)

you myself alone
<0905>_:

1:10

The LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

hath multiplied
<07235> (8689)

you, and, behold, ye [are] this day
<03117>

as the stars
<03556>

of heaven
<08064>

for multitude
<07230>_.

1:11

(The LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of your fathers
<01>

make you a thousand
<0505>

times
<06471>

so many more as
<03254> (8686)

ye [are], and bless
<01288> (8762)

you, as he hath promised
<01696> (8765)

you!)

1:12

How
<0349>

can I myself alone bear
<05375> (8799)

your cumbrance
<02960>_,

and your burden
<04853>_,

and your strife
<07379>_?

1:13

Take
<03051> (8798)

you wise
<02450>

men
<0582>_,

and understanding
<0995> (8737)_,

and known
<03045> (8803)

among your tribes
<07626>_,

and I will make
<07760> (8799)

them rulers
<07218>

over you. {Take: Heb. Give}

1:14

And ye answered
<06030> (8799)

me, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

The thing
<01697>

which thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)

[is] good
<02896>

[for us] to do
<06213> (8800)_.

Nehemiah 6:3

6:3

And I sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I [am] doing
<06213> (8802)

a great
<01419>

work
<04399>_,

so that I cannot
<03201> (8799)

come down
<03381> (8800)_:

why should the work
<04399>

cease
<07673> (8799)_,

whilst
<0834>

I leave
<07503> (8686)

it, and come down
<03381> (8804)

to you?

Nehemiah 6:2

6:2

That Sanballat
<05571>

and Geshem
<01654>

sent
<07971> (8799)

unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

let us meet
<03259> (8735)

together
<03162>

in [some one of] the villages
<03715>

in the plain
<01237>

of Ono
<0207>_.

But they thought
<02803> (8802)

to do
<06213> (8800)

me mischief
<07451>_.

Nehemiah 2:4

2:4

Then the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, For what dost thou make request
<01245> (8764)_?

So I prayed
<06419> (8691)

to the God
<0430>

of heaven
<08064>_.
