Elders Appointed to Aid Moses

¹⁶ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Gather for me ^(A)seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and ^(B)officers over them, and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you.

^17 (A)And I will come down and talk with you there. And ^(B)I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them, and ^(C)they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you may not bear it yourself alone.
