Numbers 27:16-21

Rotherham(i) 16 Let Yahweh, God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the assembly; 17 who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may take them out, and who may bring them in,––that the assembly of Yahweh become not as sheep that have no shepherd. 18 And Yahweh said unto Moses: Take thee Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is spirit,––then shalt thou lean thy hand upon him; 19 and shalt cause him to stand, before Eleazar the priest, and before all the assembly,––and shalt charge him, before their eyes; 20 and shalt put some of thine honour upon him,––that all the assembly of the sons of Israel, may hearken. 21 And, before Eleazar the priest, shall he stand, and shall ask by him for the decision of the Lights, before Yahweh,––at the bidding thereof, shall they go out, and, at the bidding thereof, shall they come in––he, and all the sons of Israel with him, even all the assembly.
