Parashas Shelach
Moshe's suspected conspiracy against Yehoshua
"And
Moshe called Hoshea Bin Nun, Yehoshua." Rashi explains that Moshe
davened for Yehoshua - "Kah Yoshiacha MayAtzas Meraglim; Hashem should
save you from the plan of the spies." Why did Moshe specifically daven
for Yehoshua more than the other spies?
Maskil L'Dovid answers that since Eldad and Meidad prophesized, "Moshe
will die and Yehoshua will be bring them into Eretz Yisrael," Moshe
wanted to make sure that Yehoshua will not die during this ordeal. If
Yehoshua were to die, people might have accused Moshe of specifically
sending Yehoshua on this excursion to have him killed and allow Moshe to
return as leader. That is why he singled out Yehoshua to daven for him.
