'Appoint' in the Bible

Appoint for yourselves wise, understanding, and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will make them your leaders.

“Appoint judges and officials for your tribes in all your towns the Lord your God is giving you. They are to judge the people with righteous judgment.

“When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, take possession of it, live in it, and say, ‘I will set a king over me like all the nations around me,’

you are to appoint over you the king the Lord your God chooses. Appoint a king from your brothers. You are not to set a foreigner over you, or one who is not of your people.

When the officers have finished addressing the army, they will appoint military commanders to lead it.
