*
Now the LORD said to Moses : "
Go up into this Mount Abarim ,
and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel .
*
And when you have seen it ,
you also shall be gathered to your people ,
as Aaron your brother was gathered .
*
For in the Wilderness of Zin ,
during the strife of the congregation ,
you rebelled against My command to hallow Me at the waters before their eyes ." (
These are the waters of Meribah ,
at Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin .)
*
Then Moses spoke to the LORD ,
saying :
* "
Let the LORD ,
the God of the spirits of all flesh ,
set a man over the congregation ,
*
who may go out before them and go in before them ,
who may lead them out and bring them in ,
that the congregation of the LORD may not be like sheep which have no shepherd ."
*
And the LORD said to Moses : "
Take Joshua the son of Nun with you ,
a man in whom is the Spirit ,
and lay your hand on him ;
*
set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation ,
and inaugurate him in their sight .
*
And you shall give some of your authority to him ,
that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient .
*
He shall stand before Eleazar the priest ,
who shall inquire before the LORD for him by the judgment of the Urim .
At his word they shall go out ,
and at his word they shall come in ,
he and all the children of Israel with him--all the congregation ."
*
So Moses did as the LORD commanded him .
He took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation .
*
And he laid his hands on him and inaugurated him ,
just as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses .
