15. Moses said to the Lord,
16. “The Lord is the God of the spirits of all people. May he choose a leader for these people,
17. who will go in and out before them. He must lead them out like sheep and bring them in; the Lord’s people must not be like sheep without a shepherd.”
18. So the Lord said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, because my Spirit is in him. Put your hand on him,
19. and have him stand before Eleazar the priest and all the people. Then give him his orders as they watch.
