Verse 16: "Let
Ad-noy, G-d of the spirits, appoint
a man over the community,
Verse 17: who will go forth before them,
and who will come back before them,
and who would lead them out
and bring them in,
so that the community of Ad-noy shall not be
like sheep that have no shepherd."
Verse 18: Ad-noy said to Moshe:
"Take to yourself Yehoshua son of Nun,
a man in whom
there is spirit,
and lay your hand on him.
Verse 19: Stand him before Elozor the kohein
and before the entire community,
and command him before their eyes.
Verse 20: Bestow some of your radiance on him,
so that
the entire community of Bnei Yisroel will hear.
Verse 21: He shall stand before Elozor the kohein,
and ask, of him,
through the judgment of the Urim before Ad-noy.
By his word they will come out and go in
---he, all Bnei Yisroel with him,
and the entire community."
