Deuteronomy 1:8-10

8 I give you this land, just as I promised your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Now you must go and take the land.

9 [8] Moses said: Right after the LORD commanded us to leave Mount Sinai, [6] I told you: Israel, being your leader is too big a job for one person.

10 The LORD our God has blessed us, and so now there are as many of us as there are stars in the sky.
