By this act, Moses transferred to Joshua a measure of the wisdom and honor which he had received from God. Moses also confirmed to the people God's selection of Joshua as the new leader.
Dahil sa ginawang ito, isinalin ni Moises kay Josue ang karunungan at dangal na kanyang natanggap mula sa Dios. Pinatunayan ni Moises sa mga tao na si Josue ang pinili ng Dios bilang bagong tagapanguna.
