Commentary on Deuteronomy 1:9
Moses' acknowledgment of being unable to bear the burden alone demonstrates humble leadership and the principle of delegation. The Hebrew 'nasa' (bear/carry) suggests the weight of judicial and administrative responsibility exceeded one person's capacity. This recognition led to the establishment of a judicial system (Exodus 18), showing that God provides wisdom and structure for effective leadership through shared responsibility.
