In this moment, God speaks directly to Joshua, affirming His intention to establish Joshua's leadership among the Israelites. This divine promise is crucial as it not only boosts Joshua's confidence but also signals to the people that God is with Joshua, just as He was with Moses. This continuity of divine support is vital for the Israelites, who are transitioning from the leadership of Moses to Joshua. By exalting Joshua, God ensures that the people will trust and follow him as they did Moses. This passage underscores the theme of God's faithfulness and His role in appointing and supporting leaders to guide His people. It also serves as a reminder that God's presence and support are not limited to one individual but extend to those He chooses to lead.
And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses.”
