Sinabi ng Walang-Hanggan kay Moises: “Tipunin mo para sa Akin ang pitumpung lalaki mula sa mga matanda ng Israel, na kilala mong mga matanda ng bayan at mga tagapamahala nila. Dalhin mo sila sa Tolda ng Pagtatagpo, at doon sila tatayo kasama mo.
Exodus
You must seek out from among all the people capable, God-fearing men, men of truth, who despise gain. You must then appoint them over [the people] as officers of thousands, officers of hundreds, officers of fifties and officers of tens.
