Commentary on Numbers 27:23
The record 'Moses did as the LORD commanded him' demonstrates faithful obedience in transferring authority. Despite Moses' natural desire to enter Canaan (Deuteronomy 3:23-26), he faithfully commissioned his successor. The Hebrew ka'asher (as/according as) emphasizes exact compliance. Moses' submission models godly leadership—preparing successors without resentment, even when prevented from completing the mission personally. This foreshadows Christ who prepared His apostles to continue His work after His ascension (Acts 1:1-8), entrusting the gospel's advance to them.
