13 After you have seen it, you will die, as your brother Aaron did,
14 because both of you rebelled against my command in the wilderness of Zin. When the whole community complained against me at Meribah, you refused to acknowledge my holy power before them.” (Meribah is the spring at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
15 Moses prayed,
16 “Lord God, source of all life, appoint, I pray, a man who can lead the people
17 and can command them in battle, so that your community will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”
18 The Lord said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a capable man, and place your hands on his head.
19 Make him stand in front of Eleazar the priest and the whole community, and there before them all proclaim him as your successor.
