¹⁵ Moses said to the Lord , ¹⁶ " Lord , you are the God who knows what people are thinking.

Then your people will not be like sheep without a shepherd." ¹⁸ So the Lord said to Moses, "Joshua son of Nun is very wise. You will place your hand on him and make him the new leader. ¹⁹ Tell him to stand before Eleazar the priest and all the people. Then make him the new leader. ²⁰ "Show the people that you are making him leader, then all the people will obey him. ²¹ If Joshua needs to make a decision, he will go to Eleazar the priest. Eleazar will use the Urim to learn the Lord 's answer. Then Joshua and all the Israelites will do the things God says. If he says, ‘go to war,' they will go to war. And if he says, ‘go home,' they will go home." ²² Moses obeyed the Lord . Moses told Joshua to stand before Eleazar the priest and all the Israelites. ²³ Then Moses put his hands on him to show that he was the new leader. He did this just as the Lord told him to.
