Clarke's Deuteronomy 3:28 Bible Commentary

But charge Joshua, etc. - Give him authority in the sight of the people, let them see that he has the same commission which I gave to thee. Encourage him; for he will meet with many difficulties in the work to which he is called. And strengthen him - show him my unfailing promises, and exhort him to put his trust in me alone; for he shall go over before this people, and shall cause them to inherit the land; of this let him rest perfectly assured.

Wesley's Deuteronomy 3:28 Bible Commentary

3:28 He shall go over - It was not Moses, but Joshua or Jesus that was to give the people rest, Hebrews 4:8 . 'Tis a comfort to those who love mankind, when they are dying and going off, to see God's work likely to be carried on by other hands, when they are silent in the dust.
