Jehovah told him to commission Joshua before all the people, and Moses did so, even though he was still physically strong and did not immediately cease to serve Israel.
Mozus 27: 15 — 17.) Jehova viņam lika visas tautas priekšā iecelt par pēcteci Jozuu, un Mozus tā arī izdarīja, lai gan viņš joprojām bija fiziski stiprs un nepārtrauca kalpot Izraēlam tajā pašā brīdī. ( 5. Mozus 3: 28; 34: 5 — 7, 9.)
