SEVENTY ELDERS ANOINTED

16 The Lord answered Moses, “Bring me seventy men from Israel known to you as elders and officers of the people. Take them to the tent of meeting and have them stand there with you. 17 Then I will come down and speak with you there. I will take some of the Spirit who is on you and put the Spirit on them.g They will help you bear the burden of the people, so that you do not have to bear it by yourself.h
