Numbers 27:15-23
New American Standard Bible
Joshua to Succeed Moses
15 Then Moses spoke to the Lord, saying, 16 “(A)May the Lord, the God of the spirits of [a]humanity, appoint a man over the congregation, 17 who (B)will go out [b]and come in before them, and lead them out and [c]bring them in, so that the congregation of the Lord will not be (C)like sheep that have no shepherd.” 18 So the Lord said to Moses, “[d]Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man (D)in whom is the Spirit, and (E)lay your hand on him; 19 and have him stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and (F)commission him in their sight. 20 And you shall put some of your [e]authority on him, so that all the congregation of the sons of Israel will obey him. 21 Moreover, he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him (G)by the judgment of the Urim before the Lord. At his [f]command they shall go out, and at his [g]command they shall come in, both he and all the sons of Israel with him, all the congregation.” 22 Then Moses did just as the Lord commanded him; he took Joshua and had him stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation. 23 Then he laid his hands on him and (H)commissioned him, just as the Lord had spoken [h]through Moses.
