Numbers 27:12-23

121Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “GoH5927 upH5927 to thisH2088 2mountainH2022 of AbarimH5682, and seeH7200 the landH776 whichH834 I have givenH5414 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 13When you have seenH7200 it, you tooH1571 3will be gatheredH622 to your peopleH5971, 4justH3512 asH3512 AaronH175 your brotherH251 5was; 14for in the wildernessH4057 of ZinH6790, during the strifeH4808 of the congregationH5712, 6you rebelledH4784 againstH854 My 7commandH6310 to treatH6942 Me asH6942 holyH6942 beforeH6440 their eyesH5869 at the waterH4325.” (TheseH1992 are the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809 of KadeshH6946 in the wildernessH4057 of ZinH6790.)

15Then MosesH4872 spokeH1696 to the LordH3068, sayingH559, 16“8May the LordH3068, the GodH430 of the spiritsH7307 of 9humanityH3605H1320, appointH6485 a manH376 overH5921 the congregationH5712, 17whoH834 10will goH3318 outH3318 11and comeH935 inH935 beforeH6440 them, and leadH3318 them out and 12bringH935 them inH935, so that the congregationH5712 of the LordH3068 will not be 13like sheepH6629 that haveH369 noH369 shepherdH7462.” 18So the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “14TakeH3947 JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, a manH376 15in whomH834 is the SpiritH7307, and 16layH5564 your handH3027 on him; 19and have him standH5975 beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548 and beforeH6440 allH3605 the congregationH5712, and 17commissionH6680 him in their sightH5869. 20And you shall putH5414 someH4480 of your 18authorityH1935 on him, soH4616 thatH4616 allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 will obeyH8085 him. 21Moreover, he shall standH5975 beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548, who shall inquireH7592 for him 19by the judgmentH4941 of the UrimH224 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. At his 20commandH6310 they shall goH3318 outH3318, and at his 21commandH6310 they shall comeH935 inH935, both he and allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 with him, allH3605 the congregationH5712.” 22Then MosesH4872 didH6213 justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 commandedH6680 him; he tookH3947 JoshuaH3091 and had him standH5975 beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548 and beforeH6440 allH3605 the congregationH5712. 23Then he laidH5564 his handsH3027 on him and 22commissionedH6680 him, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had spokenH1696 23throughH3027 MosesH4872.
