Numbers 27:12-22

12Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872, “Go upH5927H413 thisH2088 mountainH2022 of the Abarim rangeH56821 and seeH7200 the landH776 thatH834 I have givenH5414 the IsraelitesH1121H3478. 13After you have seen itH7200, youH859 too willH1571 be gatheredH622 toH413 your peopleH5971, asH834 your brotherH251 AaronH175 wasH622; 14forH834 when the congregationH5712 contendedH4808 in the WildernessH4057 of ZinH6790, both of you rebelledH4784 against My commandH6310 to show My holinessH6942 in their sightH5869 regarding the watersH4325.” ThoseH1992 were the watersH4325 of MeribahH48092 in KadeshH6946, in the WildernessH4057 of ZinH6790.

15So MosesH4872 appealedH1696 toH413 the LORDH3068H559, 16“May the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of the spiritsH7307 of allH3605 fleshH1320, appointH6485 a manH376 overH5921 the congregationH5712 17whoH834 will go outH3318 and come inH935 before themH6440, and whoH834 will lead them outH3318 and bring them inH935, so that the congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068 will notH3808 beH1961 like sheepH6629 withoutH369 a shepherdH7462.”

18And the LORDH3068 repliedH559 toH413 MosesH4872, “TakeH3947 JoshuaH3091 sonH1121 of NunH5126, a man withH376 the SpiritH834H7307 in him, and layH5564 your handsH3027 on himH5921. 19Have him standH5975 beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548H6440 and the wholeH3605 congregationH5712, and commissionH6680 himH853 in their sightH5869. 20ConferH5414 on himH5921 some of your authorityH1935, so thatH4616 the wholeH3605 congregationH5712H1121 of IsraelH3478 will obey himH8085. 21He shall standH5975 beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548, who will seek counselH7592 for him before the LORDH3068 by the judgmentH4941 of the UrimH224.3 AtH5921 his commandH6310H6440, heH1931 and allH3605 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 with himH854—the entireH3605 congregationH5712—will go outH3318H5921H6310 and come inH935.”

22MosesH4872 didH6213 asH834 the LORDH3068 had commanded himH6680. He tookH3947 JoshuaH3091, had him standH5975 beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548H6440 and the wholeH3605 congregationH5712,
