Números 27:23 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 27:23

And he laid his hands upon him
Jarchi observes, that he did this cheerfully, and did more than he was commanded; for the Lord said to him, "lay thine hand", but he laid both his hands:

and gave him a charge, as the Lord commanded Moses;
( Numbers 27:19 ) , this is a clear proof that Moses was no imposter, since he sought not to aggrandize his family, or serve the interest of that; nor did he in the least repine or murmur that the priesthood was given to his brother Aaron and sons, and now the civil government to his servant of the tribe of Ephraim; and as for his own posterity, they were only common Levites that waited upon the priests.

Números 27:23 In-Context

21 El se presentará delante del sacerdote Eleazar, quien inquirirá por él por medio del juicio del Urim delante del SEÑOR. A su palabra saldrán y a su palabra entrarán, él y todos los hijos de Israel con él, es decir, toda la congregación.
22 Y Moisés hizo tal como el SEÑOR le ordenó: tomó a Josué y lo puso delante del sacerdote Eleazar y delante de toda la congregación.
23 Luego puso sus manos sobre él y le impartió autoridad, tal como el SEÑOR había hablado por medio de Moisés.
