Numbers 27

English Standard Version ESV

1 Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, from the clans of Manasseh the son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

2 And they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the chiefs and all the congregation, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying,

3 "Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah, but died for his own sin. And he had no sons.

4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from his clan because he had no son? Give to us a possession among our father's brothers."

5 Moses brought their case before the LORD.

6 And the LORD said to Moses,

7 "The daughters of Zelophehad are right. You shall give them possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers and transfer the inheritance of their father to them.

8 And you shall speak to the people of Israel, saying, 'If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter.

9 And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.

10 And 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. And it shall be for the people of Israel a statute and rule, as the LORD commanded Moses.'"

12 The LORD said to Moses, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim and see the land that I have given to the people of Israel.

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, failing to uphold me as holy at the waters before their eyes." (These are the waters of Meribah of 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 a man over the congregation

17 who shall go out before them and come in before them, who shall lead them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the LORD may not be as sheep that have no shepherd."

18 So the LORD said to Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him.

19 Make him stand before Eleazar the priest and all the congregation, and you shall commission him in their sight.

20 You shall invest him with some of your authority, that all the congregation of the people of Israel may obey.

21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the LORD. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the people of Israel with him, the whole congregation."

22 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him. He took Joshua and made him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation,

23 and he laid his hands on him and commissioned him as the LORD directed through Moses.

The Message Bible MSG

1 The daughters of Zelophehad showed up. Their father was the son of Hepher son of Gilead son of Makir son of Manasseh, belonging to the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. The daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

2 They came to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. They stood before Moses and Eleazar the priest and before the leaders and the congregation and said,

3 "Our father died in the wilderness. He wasn't part of Korah's rebel anti-God gang. He died for his own sins. And he left no sons.

4 But why should our father's name die out from his clan just because he had no sons? So give us an inheritance among our father's relatives."

5 Moses brought their case to God.

6 God ruled:

7 "Zelophehad's daughters are right. Give them land as an inheritance among their father's relatives. Give them their father's inheritance.

8 "Then tell the People of Israel, If a man dies and leaves no son, give his inheritance to his daughter.

9 If he has no daughter, give it to his brothers.

10 If he has no brothers, give it to his father's brothers.

11 If his father had no brothers, give it to the nearest relative so that the inheritance stays in the family. This is the standard procedure for the People of Israel, as commanded by God through Moses." Joshua

12 God said to Moses, "Climb up into the Abarim Mountains and look over at the land that I am giving to the People of Israel.

13 When you've had a good look you'll be joined to your ancestors in the grave - yes, you also along with Aaron your brother.

14 This goes back to the day when the congregation quarreled in the Wilderness of Zin and you didn't honor me in holy reverence before them in the matter of the waters, the Waters of Meribah (Quarreling) at Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin."

15 Moses responded to God:

16 "Let God, the God of the spirits of everyone living, set a man over this community

17 to lead them, to show the way ahead and bring them back home so God's community will not be like sheep without a shepherd."

18 God said to Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun - the Spirit is in him! - and place your hand on him.

19 Stand him before Eleazar the priest in front of the entire congregation and commission him with everyone watching.

20 Pass your magisterial authority over to him so that the whole congregation of the People of Israel will listen obediently to him.

21 He is to consult with Eleazar the priest who, using the oracle-Urim, will prayerfully advise him in the presence of God. He will command the People of Israel, the entire community, in all their comings and goings."

22 Moses followed God's orders. He took Joshua and stood him before Eleazar the priest in front of the entire community.

23 He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, following the procedures God had given Moses.
