Fragment 20

"And he laid his hands on him." Joshua's face was also glorified by Moses laying his hands on him, but not to the same extent as Moses. Since Joshua had received a certain degree of grace, the Lord said, "And you shall confer some of your glory on him." For in this case, the thing given does not stop belonging to the giver.
