John Gill Commentary Numbers 27:20

"And thou shalt put of thine honor upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey." — Numbers 27:20 (ASV)

And you shall put some of your honour upon him
Meaning not the Spirit that was on Moses, and the gifts of the Spirit; for to do this was the work of the Lord, and not Moses, see (Numbers 11:17Numbers 11:25) , but of the honour of civil government; suggesting that he should give him a share in it, and use him not as a minister and servant, as he had been, but as his colleague and partner; and let him have some of the ensigns of power and authority, and some exercise of it; not only to inure him to government, but to make him respectable among the people:

that all the congregation of Israel may be obedient ;
to him as their ruler and governor, hearken to his words, and obey his commands.
