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 Ele, pois, se apresentará perante Eleazar, o sacerdote, o qual por ele inquirirá segundo o juízo do Urim, perante o Senhor; segundo a ordem de Eleazar sairão, e segundo a ordem de Eleazar entrarão, ele e todos os filhos de Israel, isto é, toda a congregação.

22 Então Moisés fez como o Senhor lhe ordenara: tomou a Josué, apresentou-o perante Eleazar, o sacerdote, e perante toda a congregação,

23 impôs-lhe as mãos, e lhe deu a comissão; como o Senhor falara por intermédio de Moisés.
