Deuteronomy 1:14

ותענו אתי וגו׳ AND YE ANSWERED ME, etc. — You at once decided the matter to your benefit. You should really have replied: Our teacher, Moses! From whom is it more fitting to learn, from you or from your disciple? Is it not from you who have taken such pains about it? But I knew your thoughts: you said, “Many judges will now be appointed over us; if one of them does not happen to be an acquaintance of ours, we shall bring him a gift and he will show us favour (Sifrei Devarim 14). לעשות TO DO — If I showed myself remiss, you said: act quickly (Sifrei Devarim 14).

And you answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
