Numbers 27:12-17

12Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range, and see the land I have given to the Israelites.

13When you have seen it, you will be gathered to your ancestors, as Aaron your brother was gathered to his ancestors.

14For in the wilderness of Zin when the community rebelled against me, you rebelled against my command to show me as holy before their eyes over the water – the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.”

15Then Moses spoke to the Lord:

16“Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all humankind, appoint a man over the community,

17who will go out before them, and who will come in before them, and who will lead them out, and who will bring them in, so that the community of the Lord may not be like sheep that have no shepherd.”
