Numbers 27:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ May the Lord the God of the spirits of all flesh provide a man, that may be over this multitude:

¹⁷ And may go out and in before them, and may lead them out, or bring them in: lest the people of the Lord be as sheep without a shepherd.

¹⁸ And the Lord said to him: Take Josue the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and put thy hand upon him.
