Moses said to Adonai: Let Adonai, source of the
breath of all flesh, appoint someone over the
community, who shall go out and come in before
them, and who shall take them out and bring
them in, so that Adonai’s community be not like
sheep without a shepherd. Adonai answered:
Single out Joshua son of Nun, an inspired man,
and lay your hand upon him. Have him stand
before Eleazar the priest and before the whole
community, and commission him in their sight.
Invest him with your authority so that the entire
community may hear him.
Moses did as Adonai commanded him. He took
Joshua and had him stand before Eleazar the
priest and before the whole community. He laid
his hands upon him and commissioned him —
as Adonai had spoken through Moses.
