¹² The LORD said to Moses, "One day you will go up into the Abarim Mountains, and from there you will see the land I am giving the Israelites. ¹³ After you have seen it, you will die, just like your brother Aaron, ¹⁴ because both of you disobeyed me at Meribah near the town of Kadesh in the Zin Desert. When the Israelites insulted me there, you didn't believe in my holy power." ¹⁵ Moses replied, ¹⁶ "You are the LORD God, and you know what is in everyone's heart. So I ask you to appoint a leader for Israel. ¹⁷ Your people need someone to lead them into battle, or else they will be like sheep wandering around without a shepherd." ¹⁸ The LORD answered, "Joshua son of Nun can do the job. Place your hands on him to show that he is the one to take your place. ¹⁹ Then go with him and have him stand in front of Eleazar the priest and the Israelites. Appoint Joshua as their new leader ²⁰ and tell them they must now obey him, just as they obey you. ²¹ But Joshua must depend on Eleazar to find out from me what I want him to do as he leads Israel into battle." ²² Moses followed the LORD's instructions and took Joshua to Eleazar and the people, ²³ then he placed his hands on Joshua and appointed him Israel's leader.
