NUMBERS ยท Chapter 27
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.
27:2 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,
27:3 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.
27:4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his
family, because he has no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among
the brethren of our father.
27:5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
27:6 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
27:7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: you shall surely give
them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and
you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
27:8 And you shall speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a
man die, and have no son, then all of you shall cause his inheritance to
pass unto his daughter.
27:9 And if he have no daughter, then all of you shall give his inheritance
unto his brethren.
27:10 And if he have no brethren, then all of you shall give his inheritance
unto his father's brethren.
27:11 And if his father have no brethren, then all of you 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.
27:12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Get you up into this mount Abarim,
and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
27:13 And when you have seen it, you also shall be gathered unto your
people, as Aaron your brother was gathered.
27:14 For all of you 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.
27:15 And Moses spoke unto the LORD, saying,
27:16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man
over the congregation,
27:17 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.
27:18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take you Joshua the son of Nun,
a man in whom is the spirit, and lay your hand upon him;
27:19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation;
and give him a charge in their sight.
27:20 And you shall put some of your honour upon him, that all the
congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
27:21 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.
27:22 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua,
and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
27:23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the
LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
