CHAPTER 27
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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
.
6
And the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
commanded Moses.
12
And the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
, saying,
16
Let the L
ORD
, 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
L
ORD
be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
18
And the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
: 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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
commanded by the hand of Moses.
