SEV Biblia, Chapter 34:17
Estos son los nombres de los varones que os tomarán la posesión de la tierra para vosotros: Eleazar el sacerdote, y Josué hijo de Nun.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you , etc.] Or “inherit the land for you” f500 ; that is, as Jarchi interprets it, they were to take possession of it in their name and stead, as their representatives, and then distribute it unto them, or divide it to be inherited by them; but whatever may be said for the princes of the tribes, as acting for their respective tribes, and representing them, the same cannot be said of the two first named, as follow: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun ; the one the principal person in ecclesiastical affairs, and the other in civil ones; to divide the land being partly a sacred work, as it was a type of the heavenly Canaan, and a civil one, as it concerned the present welfare of the people of Israel; and both were types of Christ, the priest upon his throne, who is both priest and King; who, as the one, gives a right unto it, and, as the other, introduces into it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 16-29 - God here appoints men to divide the land to them. So sure must the feel of victory and success while God fought for them, that the person are named who should be intrusted with the dividing of the land __________________________________________________________________
