21 But you yourself should select out of all the people capable men,+ fearing God,+ trustworthy* men,+ hating unjust profit;+ and you must set these over them as chiefs* over thousands,*+ chiefs over hundreds,* chiefs over fifties and chiefs over tens.*+

16 These are the ones called of the assembly, the chieftains*+ of the tribes of their fathers. They are the heads of the thousands of Israel.”+

2 Then the chieftains of Israel,+ the heads of the house of their fathers, made a presentation,+ they being the chieftains of the tribes and standing over the ones registered,

15 So I took the heads of YOUR tribes, men wise and experienced, and put them as heads over YOU, chiefs* of thousands and chiefs of hundreds and chiefs of fifties and chiefs of tens and officers of YOUR tribes.+

23 “And it came about that as soon as YOU had heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire,+ YOU proceeded to come near to me, all the heads of YOUR tribes and YOUR older men.*

9 Then Moses wrote this law+ and gave it to the priests the sons of Leʹvi,+ the carriers of the ark of Jehovah’s covenant,+ and to all the older men of Israel.
