16“May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation
17who will go out and come in before them, and who will lead them out and bring them in, so that the congregation of the LORD will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”
18And the LORD replied to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man with the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.
19Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation, and commission him in their sight.
20Confer on him some of your authority, so that the whole congregation of Israel will obey him.
21He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who will seek counsel for him before the LORD by the judgment of the Urim. At his command, he and all the Israelites with him — the entire congregation — will go out and come in.”
— Numbers 27:16-21
