¹² He will ^(A)appoint captains over his thousands and captains over his fifties, will set some to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and some to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.

¹⁸ And he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind of men were they whom you killed at ^(A)Tabor?”

So they answered, “As you are, so were they; each one resembled the son of a king.”

¹⁵ So I took ^(A)the heads of your tribes, wise and knowledgeable men, and ^[a]made them heads over you, leaders of thousands, leaders of hundreds, leaders of fifties, leaders of tens, and officers for your tribes.

²¹ Moreover you shall select from all the people ^(A)able men, such as ^(B)fear God, ^(C)men of truth, ^(D)hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

¹⁴ So ^(A)the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and He said: “Is not Aaron the Levite your ^(B)brother? I know that he can speak well. And look, ^(C)he is also coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. ¹⁵ Now ^(D)you shall speak to him and ^(E)put the words in his mouth. And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and ^(F)I will teach you what you shall do. ¹⁶ So he shall be your spokesman to the people. And he himself shall be as a mouth for you, and ^(G)you shall be to him as God.

¹⁰ Then Moses said to the Lord, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but ^(A)I am slow of speech and ^[a]slow of tongue.”
