Numbers 27:18-23

18So the Lord said to Moses, “1Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man 2in whom is the Spirit, and 3lay your hand on him;

19and have him stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and 4commission him in their sight.

20And you shall put some of your 5authority on him, so that all the congregation of the sons of Israel will obey him.

21Moreover, he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him 6by the judgment of the Urim before the Lord. At his 7command they shall go out, and at his 8command they shall come in, both he and all the sons of Israel with him, all the congregation.”

22Then Moses did just as the Lord commanded him; he took Joshua and had him stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation.

23Then he laid his hands on him and 9commissioned him, just as the Lord had spoken 10through Moses.
