Números 27:19 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 27:19

And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
congregation
Declaring before them all that he was his successor, and that they might be witnesses of what was said and done unto him, and receive and acknowledge him as such, and as having power and authority over them, which it became them to submit unto:

and give him a charge in their sight:
to take care of the people committed to him; to rule them in the fear of God, and according to his laws; and to be of good courage, and go before the people and introduce them into the land of Canaan; assuring him of the divine Presence and help, so that he need not fear any enemy whatever; of this charge, and as confirmed by the Lord himself, see ( Deuteronomy 31:7 Deuteronomy 31:8 Deuteronomy 31:23 ) .
