King James Bible
"And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do."
The Israelites respond to Moses' proposal to appoint leaders and judges from among their tribes. This phrase captures a moment of unified agreement, showing the people's initial willingness to accept Moses' administrative plan for governing their growing nation. The people affirm Moses' wisdom in delegating authority, recognizing the practical necessity of shared leadership. Their approval contrasts sharply with their later rebellions, marking this as a rare moment of harmonious cooperation between Moses and the congregation in the wilderness journey.
