14 Ex. 18:18; Deut. 1:12I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me.
The Seventy Elders
16 So the Lord said to Moses: "Gather to Me Ex. 18:25; 24:1, 9seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and Deut. 16:18officers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you. 17 Then I will come down and talk with you there. 1 Sam. 10:6; 2 Kin. 2:15; (Joel 2:28)I will take of the Spirit that is upon you and will put thesame upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you may not bear it yourself alone.
