16. “The Lord is the God of the spirits of all people. May he choose a good leader for these people.
17. He must 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. My Spirit is in him. Put your hand on him.
19. Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and all the people. Then give him his orders as they watch.
