And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest and all the multitude:

and thou shalt set him before Eleazar the priest, and before the whole assembly; and give him commandment before their eyes.

and hast caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the company, and hast charged him before their eyes,

And take him before Eleazar the priest and all the meeting of the people, and give him his orders before their eyes.

And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest and the entire multitude.

Statuasque illum coram Eleazar sacerdote, et coram universa congregatione: et dabis illi mandata in oculis corum.

And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation,.... Declaring before them all that he was his successor, and that they might be witnesses of what was said and done unto him, and receive and acknowledge him as such, and as having power and authority over them, which it became them to submit unto:
and give him a charge in their sight: to take care of the people committed to him; to rule them in the fear of God, and according to his laws; and to be of good courage, and go before the people and introduce them into the land of Canaan; assuring him of the divine Presence and help, so that he need not fear any enemy whatever; of this charge, and as confirmed by the Lord himself, see Deuteronomy 31:7.

Before all the congregation - That they may be witnesses of the whole action, and may acknowledge him for their supreme ruler. Give him charge - Thou shalt give him counsels and instructions for the right management of that great trust.
