Comentários de Citação sobre Números 27:19

ואצונו, “and I shall instruct him.” Rashi under-stands the word as “I will urge him to act promptly.” Nachmanides writes that there is no need to change the meaning of the word from what it means ordinarily, seeing that when G’d told Joshua ”you will bring,“ this is by itself a commandment. (Numbers 27,19) If Joshua had been deliberately slow in carrying out that command he would have been guilty of a capital offence. It is possible that the word ואצונו means: “I will inaugurate him as the leader of the Jewish nation.”

THAT I MAY GIVE HIM [Joshua] A CHARGE. “This means that I may exhort him.” This is Rashi’s language. But there is no need for this, because G-d’s statement [to Joshua] for thou shalt bring [the children of Israel into the Land]¹⁶Further, Verse 23. is a command, and, if he were to be indolent and not do so, he would be liable to the death-penalty. It is possible that the meaning of that I may give him a charge is that I will appoint him a prince and commander¹⁷Isaiah 55:4. over Israel, and thou shalt give him a charge in their sight.¹⁸Numbers 27:19.

V. 28. וצו .וצו וגו׳: Nimm ihn in Pflicht, trage ihm die Verpflichtungen seines Amtes auf (siehe Bamidbar 27, 19). וחזקהו: mache ihn fest, daß er sich durch nichts von der Bahn seiner Pflicht ablenken lasse, ואמצהו: und mache ihn stark zur Überwindung aller Schwierigkeiten und Hindernisse.
