And Moses said to Joshua, Choose thou men, and go out, and fight tomorrow against the men of Amalek; lo! I shall stand in the top of the hill, and I shall have the rod of God in mine hand.
Forsooth purvey thou of all the people wise men, and dreading God, in which is truth, and which hate avarice; and ordain thou of them tribunes [or rulers upon thousands], and centurions [or rulers upon hundreds], and quinquagenaries [or rulers upon fifty], and deans [or rulers upon ten],
And when noble men of all Israel were chosen, Moses ordained them princes of the people, tribunes [or rulers upon thousands], and centurions [or rulers upon hundreds], and quin-quagenaries [or rulers upon fifty], and deans [or rulers upon ten],
And Moses was wroth to the princes of the host, to the tribunes, and the centurions, [or leaders of thousands, and governors of hundreds], that came from the battle;
he said to his servants that stood nigh [to] him, Ye sons of Benjamin, hear me now; whether the son of Jesse shall give to all you fields and vineries [or vines], and he shall make all you chieftains upon thousands, and [leaders] upon hundreds of men?
and he shall ordain to him tribunes, that is, sovereigns of a thousand, and centurions, that is, sovereigns of an hundred, and earers or tillers of his fields, and reapers of his corns, and smiths of his arms, and of his chariots.
