7 So Moses came and called the older men+ of the people and set before them all these words that Jehovah had commanded him.+

16 In turn Jehovah said to Moses: “Gather for me seventy men of the older men of Israel,+ whom you do know that they are older men of the people and officers of theirs,+ and you must take them to the tent of meeting, and they must station themselves there with you.
