Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone. 6 Num 11:14-17Act 6:1-42Co 12:15Php 2:301Th 2:8-9Deu 1:9-12 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God: Num 27:5Deu 5:5Exo 20:19Exo 3:12Gen 39:22Sa 14:17Deu 20:1Exo 18:15 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
