Moses did what the Lord told him. He took Joshua and had him stand before Eleazar the priest and all the people,
These were Aaron’s sons: Eleazar was Aaron’s son. Phinehas was Eleazar’s son. Abishua was Phinehas’ son.
He must stand before Eleazar the priest, and Eleazar will get advice from the Lord by using the Urim. At his command all the Israelites will go out, and at his command they will all come in.”
and he put his hands on him and gave him orders, just as the Lord had told him.
