DEUTERONOMY 34:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the Lord commanded Moses.”
Joshua son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, because Moses had laid his hands on him; and the Israelites obeyed him, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses — succession achieved: Joshua is 'full of the spirit of wisdom' ('malei ruach chochmah'). Moses' laying on of hands ('samakh et yadav') transfers authority. Israel obeys ('va-yishm'u el Yeshua'): continuity is maintained.
