Seventy elders to share the burden

16Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather for me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and its officers, and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them stand there with you.”

17And I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them, and they will bear the burden of the people with you, so that you will not bear it by yourself alone.
