 The governor redeemed whomever he desired and imprisoned whomever he desired.But as soon as the governor retired and another was appointed in his place, the gatekeeper would not let him enter the king's palace.Similarly, as long as Moses remained in office, he imprisoned whomever he desired and released whomever he desired, but when he was relieved of his office and Joshua was appointed in his stead, and he asked to be permitted to enter the Promised Land, God in denied his request.
