耶和華的事，不謀利沒有版權
12. And the LORD said to Moses, “Get up into this Mount Abarim and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
13. And after you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people as Aaron your brother was gathered.
14. For you rebelled against My command in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify Me at the water before their eyes; they were the Waters of Strife in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.”
15. And Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,
16. “Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
17. Who may go out before them, and who may go in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in, so that the congregation of the LORD may not be as sheep which have no shepherd.”
18. And the LORD said to Moses, “Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand upon him.
19. And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation, and you shall commission him in their sight.
20. And you shall put of your honor on him, so that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
21. And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask for him according to the judgment of Urim before the LORD. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, he and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.”
22. And Moses did as the LORD commanded him. And he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation.
23. And he laid his hands upon him and commissioned him, even as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
12. 耶和華對摩西指示：上這亞巴琳山去看將要賜給以色列人那地方。
13. 看過了，便會回歸你列祖一起，正如你哥哥亞倫一樣。
14. 亞倫因為在尋的曠野，帶領群眾在加低斯，挑起食用水這事上導致。
15. 摩西回耶和華：
16. 那麼耶和華祢就在群眾當中找一位代為治理，
17. 從眾人中選出，讓這人帶領，免得這群耶和華的民眾，如同沒有牧人的羊群一般。
18. 耶和華回摩西說：將嫩的兒子約書亞帶來，他是個屬靈的人，讓你按手在他身上。
19. 儀式在祭司以利亞撒和全體會眾面前舉行，當眾委任。
20. 這是在眾人面前如他當有的尊榮，好讓以色列全體都明白和跟隨。
21. 這人要站在祭司以利亞撒面前，用烏陵求問耶和華面前為他求問，看烏陵得出的指示，是正或是反來作實。
22. 摩西就照耶和華所吩咐。領了約書亞站在祭司以利亞撒和全體民眾面前，完成了這個程序。
23. 於是按手在約書亞頭上，將領導的責任託付了他，如耶和華所囑咐的。
在26:65章迦勒是記在猶大的名冊上，不是以色列人：
在《聖經》中，耶孚尼的兒子迦勒被明確指出屬於猶大支派。當摩西派遣十二名探子去窺探「應許之地」時，迦勒擔任了其支派的代表和領袖（《民數記》13:6）。
由於其父耶孚尼被稱為「基尼洗人」（《民數記》32:12；《約書亞記》14:6），迦勒的血統涉及複雜的族群背景。這一稱謂表明，迦勒的家族可能並非源自以色列人——或許與以東人或迦南人有關——而是在「出埃及」之前就融入了猶大支派。儘管《歷代誌上》中的一些家譜透過希斯崙將迦勒與猶大的後裔聯繫起來，但文中始終稱其父為“基尼洗人”，這說明迦勒之所以被納入猶大支派，很可能是通過聯姻、收養或部落同化等方式，而非直接的父系血緣傳承。
這是一個很有意思安排。一個非以色列人，被摩西拍板為以色列人進入迦南的領袖，而他的得力助手是嫩的兒子約書亞。迦勒不是雅各之後，卻是亞伯拉罕之後。一般解釋將信與不信作為以色列人和非以色列人之分，事實他們都是同一位祖先。一邊是耶和華有約，一邊同出一位父親，但沒有在應許之內。他們之間產生的是二種不同的人生態度。像迦勒的先祖在很早前就選擇了他的人生態度，回歸以色列。
Joshua, originally named Hoshea (meaning “salvation”), was the son of Nun and a member of the Tribe of Ephraim. Born a Hebrew slave in Egypt, he served as Moses’ assistant and military commander, leading the Israelites against the Amalekites and acting as one of the twelve spies who gave a faithful report of Canaan.
After Moses’ death, Joshua was divinely appointed as the successor and leader of Israel, tasked with crossing the Jordan River and conquering the Promised Land. He is renowned for his military leadership, his role in dividing the land among the tribes, and his final covenant renewal address where he declared, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
Joshua died at the age of 110 and was buried in Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim. In Islamic tradition, he is revered as Yusha bin Nun, the attendant of Moses, while his name (Yehoshua) is linguistically linked to the New Testament name Jesus.
約書亞是雅各之後，不是雅各之後就會選擇守耶和華之約。像利亞而出的，須在肉身與雅各有親，心靈當中不是，選擇了另類的人生態度，與當時埃及的文明結合，偏離了人生態度，選擇了血氣行事，如放縱情慾，挑起事端，是一而再引起不少事端，不以和諧探討解決，是血氣行事方式，不去自控而是自大。
迦勒與約書亞一起聯手進去迦南，這個應許之地，卻因為世事多磨，例如旱情是生活的影響和寄居地的文化熏陶是思想的轉化，都直接影響人的信念，進而有不同的選擇決定。像迦勒的父母和利亞的子女，都有不同的選擇作出不同的生活方式。
當中涉及的關鍵，是人如何為自己前路作決定。當人面對生活和文代的沖刷時，人生態度是一個關鍵，犧牲自我還是縱容自我，會給人生帶來不同的選擇，它帶來的禍福，須要人自己作決定。人，持什麼信念，不在自我本身，而在成為什麼的我。
