And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

Verse 23 is found in chapter 27 of Numbers. God announces to Moses that he will see the land from the mountain but will not enter it, and Moses asks that Israel have a leader who will not leave them like sheep without a shepherd. Joshua is appointed and presented before Eleazar and the congregation. Leadership succession appears as a communal and theological concern: the people need continuity after Moses’ death.

und legte seine Hand auf ihn und gebot ihm, wie der HERR mit Mose geredet hatte.
Y puso sobre él sus manos, y diole órdenes, como Jehová había mandado por mano de Moisés.
Il posa ses mains sur lui, et lui donna des ordres, comme l'Eternel l'avait dit par Moïse.
E posò le sue mani sopra lui, e gli diede i suoi ordini, come il Signore avea comandato per Mosè
E sobre ele impôs as suas mãos, e lhe deu ordens, como o SENHOR falara por intermédio de Moisés.
為他按手,委派他,是照耶和華藉 摩西 所說的。
