7
The daughters of Zelophehad are right in what they are saying; you shall indeed let them possess an inheritance among their father's brothers and pass the inheritance of their father on to them.
8
You shall also say to the Israelites, "If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall pass his inheritance on to his daughter.
9
If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
10
If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers.
11
And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the nearest kinsman of his clan, and he shall possess it. It shall be for the Israelites a statute and ordinance, as the Lord commanded Moses."
12
The Lord said to Moses, "Go up this mountain of the Abarim range, and see the land that I have given to the Israelites.
13
When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was,
14
because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin when the congregation quarreled with me. You did not show my holiness before their eyes at the waters." (These are the waters of Meribath-kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
15
Moses spoke to the Lord, saying,
16
"Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint someone over the congregation
17
who shall go out before them and come in before them, who shall lead them out and bring them in, so that the congregation of the Lord may not be like sheep without a shepherd."
