At his [c]command they shall go out and at his [d]command they shall come in, both he and the sons of Israel with him, even all the congregation.” 22 Moses did just as the Lord commanded him; and he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation. 23 Then he laid his hands on him and (E)commissioned him, just as the Lord had spoken [e]through Moses.
