Footnotes

  1. 28 Or “said.”
  2. 29 The word “spirit” probably refers to the Holy Spirit, in which case it would be rendered “in whom is the Spirit.” This would likely be a permanent endowment for Joshua. But it is also possible to take it to refer to a proper spirit to do all the things required of such a leader (which ultimately is a gift from the Spirit of God). The Hebrew text simply says “in whom is a spirit.”
  3. 30 This symbolic act would indicate the transfer of leadership to Joshua.
