God Appoints Joshua

¹⁸ “Select Nun’s son Joshua. The Spirit is in that man,” the Lord answered Moses. “You are to lay your hand on him ¹⁹ and make him stand in front of Eleazar the priest and the entire community. Then you are to set him in charge right before their eyes, ²⁰ turning over your authority^[a] to him so that the entire community of Israel knows to^[b] obey him.
