Context of Numbers 27:15
13And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother was gathered, 14because ye rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, as to hallowing me in the matter of the water before their eyes. (That is the water of Meribah at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.) And Moses spoke to Jehovah, saying, 16Let Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the assembly, 17who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in, that the assembly of Jehovah be not as sheep that have no shepherd.
