So choose some wise men from each of your tribes. They must understand how to give good advice. The people must have respect for them. I will appoint those men to have authority over you.”You answered me,“ Your suggestion is good.”So I chose the leading men of your tribes who were wise and respected. I appointed them to have authority over you. I made them commanders of thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. I appointed them to be officials over the tribes.Here is what I commanded your judges at that time. I said,“ Listen to your people’s cases when they argue with one another. Judge them fairly. It doesn’t matter whether the case is between two Israelites or between an Israelite and an outsider living among you.When you judge them, treat everyone the same. Listen to those who are important and those who are not. Don’t be afraid of anyone. God is the highest judge. Bring me any case that is too hard for you. I’ll listen to it.”

One man from each tribe must help you. Those who help must be the heads of their families.“ Here are the names of the men who must help you.“ From the tribe of Reuben will come Elizur, the son of Shedeur.From the tribe of Simeon will come Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai.From the tribe of Judah will come Nahshon, the son of Amminadab.From the tribe of Issachar will come Nethanel, the son of Zuar.From the tribe of Zebulun will come Eliab, the son of Helon.From the tribe of Ephraim will come Elishama, the son of Ammihud.
