Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ Then you answered me: The thing is good which thou meanest to do.

¹⁵ And I took out of your tribes men wise and honourable, and appointed them rulers, tribunes, and centurions, and officers over fifties, and over tens, who might teach you all things.

¹⁶ And I commanded them, saying: Hear them, and judge that which is just: whether he be one of your country, or a stranger.
