Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

Deuteronomy 3:28

Charge Joshua; give him commission and authority, and a command to execute his trust, and conduct the people. Strengthen him with exhortations and promises, and assurances of my presence and help, and of good success. He shall go over: it was not Moses, but Joshua or Jesus, that was to give the people rest, Hebrews 4:8.
