by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. 026:065 For Yahweh had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. There was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. 027:001 Then drew near 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. 027:002 They stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the tent of meeting, saying, 027:003 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against Yahweh in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons. 027:004 Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father. 027:005 Moses brought their cause before Yahweh. 027:006 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 027:007 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: you shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers; and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them. 027:008 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter. 027:009 If he have no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. 027:010 If he have no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers. 027:011 If his father have no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute [and] ordinance, as Yahweh commanded Moses. 027:012 Yahweh said to Moses, Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel. 027:013 When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered; 027:014 because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes. (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.) 027:015 Moses spoke to Yahweh, saying, 027:016 Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation, 027:017 who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in; that the congregation of Yahweh not be as sheep which have no shepherd.
