Depute
To depute is to appoint as one's substitute, representative, or agent.
Shortly before his death, Moses deputed Joshua to be his successor and lead the Israelites into the Promised Land.
Now Joshua the son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him; and the sons of Israel listened to him and did as the LORD had commanded Moses. (Deuteronomy 34:9, NASB)
