Moses knew that sooner or later another leader would be needed for Israel, so he prayed to the Lord saying, "Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation, Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd" (Numbers 17:16-17).
