Numbers 27:12-17

NSB(i) 12 Jehovah said to Moses: »Go up into the Abarim Mountains, and take a look at the land I will give the Israelites. 13 »After you see it, you, too, will join your ancestors in death, as your brother Aaron did. 14 »You both rebelled against my command in the Desert of Zin. You did not show the people how holy I am when they were complaining at the oasis. »This was the oasis of Meribah at Kadesh in the Desert of Zin. 15 Moses prayed: 16 »O Jehovah our God, source of all life, appoint, I pray, a man who can lead the people 17 and can command them in battle. Do not allow your congregation to be like sheep without a shepherd.«
