Numbers 26
Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron took a census of Israel.
Numbers 27
Num 27:12 The LORD said to Moses, "One day you will go up into the Abarim Mountains, and from there you will see the land I am giving the Israelites.
Num 27:13 After you have seen it, you will die, just like your brother Aaron,
Num 27:14 because both of you disobeyed me at Meribah near the town of Kadesh in the Zin Desert. When the Israelites insulted me there, you didn't believe in my holy power."
Num 27:15 Moses replied,
Num 27:16 "You are the LORD God, and you know what is in everyone's heart. So I ask you to appoint a leader for Israel.
Num 27:17 Your people need someone to lead them into battle, or else they will be like sheep wandering around without a shepherd."
Num 27:18 The LORD answered, "Joshua son of Nun can do the job. Place your hands on him to show that he is the one to take your place.
Num 27:19 Then go with him and have him stand in front of Eleazar the priest and the Israelites. Appoint Joshua as their new leader
Num 27:20 and tell them they must now obey him, just as they obey you.
Num 27:21 But Joshua must depend on Eleazar to find out from me what I want him to do as he leads Israel into battle."
Num 27:22 Moses followed the LORD's instructions and took Joshua to Eleazar and the people,
Num 27:23 then he placed his hands on Joshua and appointed him Israel's leader.
Moses was still alive but he was already praying for the rightful successor. God gave Joshua as his successor so that when Moses dies Israel will not scatter like a sheep without a shepherd.

Jacob Wrestling with the ANGEL of GOD
And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
And he said unto him, What [is] thy name? And he said, Jacob.
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
And Jacob asked [him], and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore [is] it [that] thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
