THE MESSAGE
Moses responded to God : "Let God , the God of the spirits of everyone living, set a man over this community to lead them, to show the way ahead and bring them back home so God 's community will not be like sheep without a shepherd."
New American Standard Bible (1995)
Then Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,

Contextual Overview

15 Moses said to the Lord , 16 "The Lord is the God of the spirits of all people. May he choose a leader for these people, 17 who will 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, because my Spirit is in him. Put your hand on him, 19 and have him stand before Eleazar the priest and all the people. Then give him his orders as they watch. 20 Let him share your honor so that all the Israelites will obey him. 21 He must stand before Eleazar the priest, and Eleazar will get advice from the Lord by using the Urim. At his command all the Israelites will go out, and at his command they will all come in." 22 Moses did what the Lord told him. He took Joshua and had him stand before Eleazar the priest and all the people, 23 and he put his hands on him and gave him orders, just as the Lord had told him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses spake unto the Lord,.... Having requested to go into the land and see it, which was denied him; and perceiving he must quickly die, and being a man of a public spirit, and concerned for the welfare of the people of Israel, prays that a successor might be nominated and appointed:

saying; as follows.
