Parshas Devarim
In reference to Moishe recounting to the Jewish Nation how HaShem instructed him to appoint leaders over the people, the pasuk tells us (1:13) “Havuh lachem anashim chachamim unevonim veyeduim leshivtaichem veasimem berashaichem” (“ Get for yourselves men who are wise, understanding, and renown from your tribes, and I will appoint them as your heads”).
The desired character traits of the leaders were: 1) wise, 2) understanding, 3) renown.
Later on another pasuk tells us (1:15) “ Vaekach es rashey shifteychem anashim chachamim veyduim vaeten osom rashim aleychem,…” (“I took the heads of your tribes, men who are wise and renown, and I appointed them as heads over you,…”).
