Context of Numbers 27:19
17to go out and come in before them, who will lead them out and bring them out so that the people of Adonai will not be like sheep without a shepherd.” 18Adonai said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the Ruach, and lay your hand on him. You will have him stand before Eleazar the kohen and the entire assembly and commission him before their eyes. 20Give to him some of your authority so that the whole community of Bnei-Yisrael will obey him. 21He will stand before Eleazar the kohen, who will pray and obtain judgments for him by Urim and before Adonai. At his mouth, they will go out and at his mouth they will come in, he and all the community of Bnei-Yisrael with him.”
