15. Moses spoke to Adonai saying,
16. “May Adonai, God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the community
17. to 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.”
18. Adonai said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the Ruach, and lay your hand on him.
19. You will have him stand before Eleazar the kohen and the entire assembly and commission him before their eyes.
20. Give to him some of your authority so that the whole community of Bnei-Yisrael will obey him.
21. He 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.”
22. Moses did as Adonai commanded him. He took Joshua, stood him before Eleazar the kohen and all the entire assembly.
