Numbers 27:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ “The Lord is the God of the spirits of all people. May he choose a good leader for these people. ¹⁷ He must go in and out before them. He must lead them out like sheep and bring them in. The Lord’s people must not be like sheep without a shepherd.”

¹⁸ So the Lord said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun. My Spirit is in him. Put your hand on him.
