Numbers 27:15-23

15Then MosesH4872 spokeH1696 to the LordH3068, sayingH559,

16“1May the LordH3068, the GodH430 of the spiritsH7307 of allH3605 fleshH1320, appointH6485 a manH376 overH5921 the congregationH5712,

17whoH834 2will goH3318 out 3and comeH935 in beforeH6440 them, and whoH834 will leadH3318 them out and 4bringH935 them in, so that the congregationH5712 of the LordH3068 will not be 5like sheepH6629 whichH834 haveH369 noH369 shepherdH7462.”

18So the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “6TakeH3947 JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, a manH376 7in whomH834 is the SpiritH7307, and 8layH5564 your handH3027 on him;

19and have him standH5975 beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548 and beforeH6440 allH3605 the congregationH5712, and 9commissionH6680 him in their sightH5869.

20You shall putH5414 someH4480 of your 10authorityH1935 on him, in orderH4616 that allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 may obeyH8085 him.

21Moreover, he shall standH5975 beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548, who shall inquireH7592 for him 11by the judgmentH4941 of the UrimH224 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. At his 12commandH6310 they shall goH3318 out and at his 13commandH6310 they shall comeH935 in, both he and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 with him, even allH3605 the congregationH5712.”

22MosesH4872 didH6213 justH3512 as the LordH3068 commandedH6680 him; and he tookH3947 JoshuaH3091 and setH5975 him beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548 and beforeH6440 allH3605 the congregationH5712.

23Then he laidH5564 his handsH3027 on him and 14commissionedH6680 him, justH3512 as the LordH3068 had spokenH1696 15throughH3027 MosesH4872.
