Numbers 27
- 1
- Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher,
the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of
Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah,
Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
- 2
- And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the
priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
- 3
- Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the
company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the
company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
- 4
- Why should the name of our father be done away from
among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession
among the brethren of our father.
- 5
- And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
- 6
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 7
- The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt
surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren;
and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
- 8
- And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel,
saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to
pass unto his daughter.
- 9
- And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his
inheritance unto his brethren.
- 10
- And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his
inheritance unto his father's brethren.
- 11
- And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give
his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he
shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of
judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.
- 12
- And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this
mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
- 13
- And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered
unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
- 14
- For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of
Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before
their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
- 15
- And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
- 16
- Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a
man over the congregation,
- 17
- Which may go out before them, and which may go in before
them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the
congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
- 18
- And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son
of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
- 19
- And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all
the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
- 20
- And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that
all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
- 21
- And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall
ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word
shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the
children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
- 22
- And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took
Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
congregation:
- 23
- And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge,
as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
