וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֗ה אֶסְפָה־לִּ֞י שִׁבְעִ֣ים אִישׁ֮ מִזִּקְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵל֒ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יָדַ֔עְתָּ כִּי־הֵ֛ם זִקְנֵ֥י הָעָ֖ם וְשֹׁטְרָ֑יו וְלָקַחְתָּ֤ אֹתָם֙ אֶל־אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד וְהִֽתְיַצְּב֥וּ שָׁ֖ם עִמָּֽךְ׃
Yang Mahakekal berfirman kepada Musa: “Kumpulkanlah bagi-Ku tujuh puluh orang dari antara para tua-tua Israel, yang kauketahui sebagai tua-tua bangsa itu dan para pengatur mereka. Bawalah mereka ke Kemah Pertemuan, dan biarlah mereka berdiri di sana bersamamu.
Exodus
