SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:15
¶ Entonces respondió Moisés al SEÑOR, diciendo:
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And Moses spake unto the Lord , etc.] Having requested to go into the land and see it, which was denied him; and perceiving he must quickly die, and being a man of a public spirit, and concerned for the welfare of the people of Israel, prays that a successor might be nominated and appointed: saying ; as follows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-23 - Envious spirits do not love their successors; but Moses was not one of these. We should concern ourselves, both in our prayers and in ou endeavours, for the rising generation, that religion may be maintaine and advanced, when we are in our graves. God appoints a successor, eve Joshua; who had signalized himself by his courage in fighting Amalek his humility in ministering to Moses, and his faith and sincerity i witnessing against the report of the evil spies. This man God appoint to succeed Moses; a man in whom is the Spirit, the Spirit of grace. He is a good man, fearing God and hating covetousness, and acting from principle. He has the spirit of government; he is fit to do the wor and discharge the trusts of his place. He has a spirit of conduct an courage; he had also the Spirit of prophecy. That man is not full qualified for any service in the church of Christ, who is destitute of the graces and gifts of the Holy Spirit, whatever human abilities he may possess. And in Joshua's succession we are reminded "that the la was given by Moses," who by reason of our transgression could not brin us to heaven; but "grace and truth came by Jesus Christ," for the salvation of every believer __________________________________________________________________
