Números 27:20 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 27:20

And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him
Meaning not the Spirit that was on Moses, and the gifts of the Spirit; for to do this was the work of the Lord, and not Moses, see ( Numbers 11:17 Numbers 11:25 ) , but of the honour of civil government; suggesting that he should give him a share in it, and use him not as a minister and servant, as he had been, but as his colleague and partner; and let him have some of the ensigns of power and authority, and some exercise of it; not only to inure him to government, but to make him respectable among the people:

that all the congregation of Israel may be obedient;
to him as their ruler and governor, hearken to his words, and obey his commands.

Números 27:20 In-Context

18 El SEÑOR le dijo a Moisés:—Toma a Josué hijo de Nun, que es un hombre de gran espíritu. Pon tus manos sobre él,

19 y haz que se presente ante el sacerdote Eleazar y ante toda la comunidad. En presencia de ellos le entregarás el mando.

20 Lo investirás con algunas de tus atribuciones, para que toda la comunidad israelita le obedezca.

21 Se presentará ante el sacerdote Eleazar, quien mediante el urim consultará al SEÑOR. Cuando Josué ordene ir a la guerra, la comunidad entera saldrá con él, y cuando le ordene volver, volverá.

22 Moisés hizo lo que el SEÑOR le ordenó. Tomó a Josué y lo puso delante del sacerdote Eleazar y de toda la comunidad.
