Numbers 27:12

Joshua to Succeed Moses

12Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go up this mountain in the Abarim range and see the land I have given the Israelites.

13After you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was,14for when the community rebelled at the waters in the Desert of Zin, both of you disobeyed my command to honor me as holy before their eyes.” (These were the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Desert of Zin.)

15Moses said to the LORD,16“May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all mankind, appoint a man over this community17to go out and come in before them, one who will lead them out and bring them in, so the LORD's people will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”

18So the LORD said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit,Or Spirit and lay your hand on him.19Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the entire assembly and commission him in their presence.20Give him some of your authority so the whole Israelite community will obey him.21He is to stand before Eleazar the priest, who will obtain decisions for him by inquiring of the Urim before the LORD. At his command he and the entire community of the Israelites will go out, and at his command they will come in.”

22Moses did as the LORD commanded him. He took Joshua and had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole assembly.23Then he laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD instructed through Moses.
