Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua and made him stand in front of the priest Eleazar and the whole community.
These were Aaron’s descendants: His son was Eleazar. Eleazar’s son was Phinehas. Phinehas’ son was Abishua.
He will stand in front of the priest Eleazar, who will use the Urim to make decisions in the Lord’s presence. At his command Joshua and the whole community of Israel will go into battle. And at his command they will return.”
Moses placed his hands on Joshua and gave him his instructions as the Lord had told him.
