*
The LORD said to Moses , "
Go up into this mountain of Ab '
arim ,
and see the land which I have given to the people of Israel .
*
And when you have seen it ,
you also shall be gathered to your people ,
as your brother Aaron was gathered ,
*
because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin during the strife of the congregation ,
to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes ." (
These are the waters of Mer '
ibah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin .)
*
Moses said to the LORD ,
* "
Let the LORD ,
the God of the spirits of all flesh ,
appoint a man over the congregation ,
*
who shall go out before them and come in before them ,
who shall lead them out and bring them in ;
that the congregation of the LORD may not be as sheep which have no shepherd ."
*
And the LORD said to Moses , "
Take Joshua the son of Nun ,
a man in whom is the spirit ,
and lay your hand upon him ;
*
cause him to stand before Elea '
zar the priest and all the congregation ,
and you shall commission him in their sight .
*
You shall invest him with some of your authority ,
that all the congregation of the people of Israel may obey .
*
And he shall stand before Elea '
zar the priest ,
who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the LORD ;
at his word they shall go out ,
and at his word they shall come in ,
both he and all the people of Israel with him ,
the whole congregation ."
*
And Moses did as the LORD commanded him ;
he took Joshua and caused him to stand before Elea '
zar the priest and the whole congregation ,
*
and he laid his hands upon him ,
and commissioned him as the LORD directed through Moses .
