13 After you have seen it, you will die like your brother, Aaron,
14 for you both rebelled against my instructions in the wilderness of Zin. When the people of Israel rebelled, you failed to demonstrate my holiness to them at the waters.” (These are the waters of Meribah at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)

18 The lord replied, “Take Joshua son of Nun, who has the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.
19 Present him to Eleazar the priest before the whole community, and publicly commission him to lead the people.
