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 Cuando se necesite dirección del Señor
, Josué se presentará ante el sacerdote Eleazar, quien usará el Urim —uno de los sorteos sagrados que se hacen ante el Señor
— para determinar su voluntad. De esta manera Josué y el resto de la comunidad de Israel decidirán todo lo que deben hacer.

22 Así que Moisés hizo lo que el Señor
le ordenó y presentó a Josué ante el sacerdote Eleazar y ante toda la comunidad.

23 Luego Moisés impuso sus manos sobre él y le entregó el cargo de dirigir al pueblo, tal como el Señor
había ordenado por medio de Moisés.
