SEV Biblia, Chapter 34:9
¶ Y Josué hijo de Nun fue lleno del Espíritu de sabiduría, porque Moisés había puesto sus manos sobre él; y los hijos de Israel le escucharon, e hicieron como el SEÑOR mandó a Moisés.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 34:9
Verse 9. Laid his hands upon him] See on Num. xxvii. 18-23.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom , etc.] 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).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-12 - Moses brought Israel to the borders of Canaan, and then died and lef them. This signifies that the law made nothing perfect, Heb 7:19 I brings men into a wilderness of conviction, but not into the Canaan of rest and settled peace. That honour was reserved for Joshua, our Lor Jesus, of whom Joshua was a type, (and the name is the same,) to d that for us which the law could not do, Ro 8:3. Through him we ente into the spiritual rest of conscience, and eternal rest in heaven Moses was greater than any other prophet of the Old Testament. But ou Lord Jesus went beyond him, far more than the other prophets came shor of him. And see a strong resemblance between the redeemer of the children of Israel and the Redeemer of mankind. Moses was sent by God to deliver the Israelites form a cruel bondage; he led them out, an conquered their enemies. He became not only their deliverer, but their lawgiver; not only their lawgiver, but their judge; and, finally, lead them to the border of the land of promise. Our blessed Saviour came to rescue us out of the slavery of the devil, and to restore us to libert and happiness. He came to confirm every moral precept of the firs lawgiver; and to write them, not on tables of stone, but on fleshl tables of the heart. He came to be our Judge also, inasmuch as he hat appointed a day when he will judge all the secrets of men, and rewar or punish accordingly. This greatness of Christ above Moses, is reason why Christians should be obedient and faithful to the holy religion by which they profess to be Christ's followers. God, by his grace, make us all so __________________________________________________________________
