Commentary on Deuteronomy 1:38
Joshua's appointment as Moses' successor demonstrates God's sovereign preparation of leadership. The command 'encourage him' (Hebrew 'chazaq'—strengthen, make firm) reveals that even chosen leaders require support from the covenant community. Joshua would 'cause Israel to inherit' the land—not by his own strength but as God's ordained instrument. This illustrates the Reformed understanding that God works through appointed means to accomplish His sovereign purposes. Human agency and divine sovereignty cooperate without contradiction.
