Contextual Overview

15 Moses said to the Lord, 16 "May the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, choose a man to lead the people. 17 Let this man go out and come in before them. Let him lead them out and bring them in. Then the people of the Lord may not be like sheep which have no shepherd." 18 So the Lord said to Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun, in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him. 19 Have him stand in front of Eleazar the religious leader and in front of all the people. Let them see you give him the work he must do. 20 Give some of your power to him so all the people of Israel will obey him. 21 He will stand in front of Eleazar the religious leader, who will learn My will for him by using the Urim. At his word, both he and all the people of Israel will go out and at his word, they will come in." 22 Moses did just as the Lord told him. He took Joshua and had him stand in front of Eleazar the religious leader, and in front of all the people. 23 Then he laid his hands on him and gave him the work he must do, just as the Lord had said through Moses.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation,.... Declaring before them all that he was his successor, and that they might be witnesses of what was said and done unto him, and receive and acknowledge him as such, and as having power and authority over them, which it became them to submit unto:

and give him a charge in their sight: to take care of the people committed to him; to rule them in the fear of God, and according to his laws; and to be of good courage, and go before the people and introduce them into the land of Canaan; assuring him of the divine Presence and help, so that he need not fear any enemy whatever; of this charge, and as confirmed by the Lord himself, see Deuteronomy 31:7.
