| 18 | And the LORD said to Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay your hand upon him; |
| 19 | cause him to stand before Elea'zar the priest and all the congregation, and you shall commission him in their sight. |
| 20 | You shall invest him with some of your authority, that all the congregation of the people of Israel may obey. |
| 21 | And he shall stand before Elea'zar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the LORD; at his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the people of Israel with him, the whole congregation." |
| 22 | And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; he took Joshua and caused him to stand before Elea'zar the priest and the whole congregation, |
| 23 | and he laid his hands upon him, and commissioned him as the LORD directed through Moses. |
