Numbers 27:12-22

[12] And the LORD  said  unto Moses,  Get thee up  into this mount  Abarim,  and see  the land  which I have given  unto the children  of Israel.  [13] And when thou hast seen  it, thou also shalt be gathered  unto thy people,  as Aaron  thy brother  was gathered.  [14] For ye rebelled  against my commandment  in the desert  of Zin,  in the strife  of the congregation,  to sanctify  me at the water  before their eyes:  that is the water  of Meribah  in Kadesh  in the wilderness  of Zin.  [15] And Moses  spake  unto the LORD,  saying,  [16] Let the LORD,  the God  of the spirits  of all flesh,  set  a man  over the congregation,  [17] Which may go out  before  them, and which may go in  before  them, and which may lead them out,  and which may bring them in;  that the congregation  of the LORD  be not as sheep  which have no shepherd.  [18] And the LORD  said  unto Moses,  Take  thee Joshua  the son  of Nun,  a man  in whom is the spirit,  and lay  thine hand  upon him; [19] And set  him before  Eleazar  the priest,  and before  all the congregation;  and give him a charge  in their sight.  [20] And thou shalt put  some of thine honour  upon him, that all the congregation  of the children  of Israel  may be obedient.  [21] And he shall stand  before  Eleazar  the priest,  who shall ask  counsel for him after the judgment  of Urim  before  the LORD:  at his word  shall they go out,  and at his word  they shall come in,  both he, and all the children  of Israel  with him, even all the congregation.  [22] And Moses  did  as the LORD  commanded  him: and he took  Joshua,  and set  him before  Eleazar  the priest,  and before  all the congregation:
