13 After you have seen this land, you will die like your brother Aaron.
14 Remember when the people became angry at the water in the desert of Zin. Both you and Aaron refused to obey my command. You did not honor me and show the people that I am holy.” (This was at the water of Meribah near Kadesh in the desert of Zin.)
15 Moses said to the Lord,
16 “Lord, you are the God who knows what people are thinking. I pray that you will choose a leader for these people.
17 I pray that you will choose a leader who will lead them out of this land and bring them into the new land. 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.
