Deuteronômio 34:9 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 34:9

And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom,
&c.] The successor of Moses, and who, by the spirit of wisdom on him, was abundantly qualified for the government of the people of Israel; in which he was a type of Christ, on whom the spirit of wisdom and understanding is said to rest, ( Isaiah 11:2 ) ;

for Moses had laid his hands upon him;
which was a symbol of the government being committed to him, and devolving upon him after his death, and expressive of prayer for him, that he might be fitted for it, of which action see ( Numbers 27:23 ) ;

and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the Lord
commanded Moses;
or by the hand of Moses; they received him and owned him as their supreme governor under God, and yielded a cheerful obedience to his commands, as the Lord by Moses commanded them to do, and as they promised; see ( Joshua 1:16-18 ) .

Deuteronômio 34:9 In-Context

7 Moisés tinha cento e vinte anos de idade quando morreu; todavia, nem os seus olhos nem o seu vigor tinham se enfraquecido.

8 Os israelitas choraram Moisés nas campinas de Moabe durante trinta dias, até passar o período de pranto e luto.

9 Ora, Josué, filho de Num, estava cheio do Espírito de sabedoria, porque Moisés tinha imposto as suas mãos sobre ele. De modo que os israelitas lhe obedeceram e fizeram o que o SENHOR tinha ordenado a Moisés.

10 Em Israel nunca mais se levantou profeta como Moisés, a quem o SENHOR conheceu face a face,

11 e que fez todos aqueles sinais e maravilhas que o SENHOR o tinha enviado para fazer no Egito, contra o faraó, contra todos os seus servos e contra toda a sua terra.
