Context
27:14 For in the wilderness of Zin when the community rebelled against me, you rebelled against my command to show me as holy before their eyes over the water – the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin .”
27:15 Then Moses spoke to the Lord :
27:16 “Let the Lord , the God of the spirits of all humankind , appoint a man over the community ,
27:17 who will go out before them, and who will come in before them, and who will lead them out , and who will bring them in, so that the community of the Lord may not be like sheep that have no shepherd .”
27:18 The Lord replied to Moses , “Take Joshua son of Nun , a man in whom is such a spirit , and lay your hand on him;
27:19 set him before Eleazar the priest and before the whole community , and commission him publicly .
27:20 Then you must delegate some of your authority to him, so that the whole community of the Israelites will be obedient .
27:21 And he will stand before Eleazar the priest , who will seek counsel for him before the Lord by the decision of the Urim . At his command they will go out , and at his command they will come in, he and all the Israelites with him, the whole community .”
27:22 So Moses did as the Lord commanded him; he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before the whole community .
27:23 He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, just as the Lord commanded , by the authority of Moses .
