04:027:001 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. 04:027:002 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, 04:027:003 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. 04:027:004 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. 04:027:005 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD. 04:027:006 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 04:027:007 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. 04:027:008 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. 04:027:009 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren. 04:027:010 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren. 04:027:011 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. 04:027:012 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. 04:027:013 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered. 04:027:014 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. 04:027:015 And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying, 04:027:016 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation, 04:027:017 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. 04:027:018 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; 04:027:019 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight. 04:027:020 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
