Numbers 27

Third Millennium Bible TMB

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.

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,

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

4 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."

5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

6 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

7 "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.

8 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.

9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.

10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.

11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman who 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.'"

12 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.

13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.

14 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.)

15 And Moses spoke unto the LORD, saying,

16 "Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,

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

18 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;

19 and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and give him a charge in their sight.

20 And thou shalt put some of thine honor upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.

21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him by the judgment of the 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."

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.

23 And he laid his hands upon him and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 The daughters of Zelophehad, son of Hepher, grandson of Gilead, descendant of Machir, whose father was Manasseh, belonged to the families of Manasseh, son of Joseph. Their names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. They came

2 to Moses and stood in front of him, the priest Eleazar, the leaders, and the whole community at the entrance to the tent of meeting. They said,

3 "Our father died in the desert. He was not a part of Korah's followers who joined forces against the LORD. He died for his own sin and left no sons.

4 Why should our father's name be allowed to die out in his family because he had no son? Give us property among our father's relatives."

5 So Moses brought their case to the LORD,

6 and the LORD said to him,

7 "Zelophehad's daughters are right. You must give them property of their own among their father's relatives. Turn their father's property over to them.

8 "Tell the Israelites: If a man dies and leaves no sons, turn his property over to his daughters.

9 If he has no daughters, give his property to his brothers.

10 If he has no brothers, give his property to his uncles on his father's side of the family.

11 If he has no uncles, give his property to the nearest relative in his family, and that relative will take possession of it. This will be a rule for the Israelites, as the LORD commanded Moses."

12 The LORD said to Moses, "Go up into the Abarim Mountains, and take a look at the land I will give the Israelites.

13 After you see it, you, too, will join your ancestors [in death], as your brother Aaron did.

14 You both rebelled against my command in the Desert of Zin. You didn't show the people how holy I am when they were complaining at the oasis." (This was the oasis of Meribah at Kadesh in the Desert of Zin.)

15 Moses said to the LORD,

16 "LORD, you are the God who gives the breath of life to everyone. Please appoint someone over the community

17 who will lead them in and out [of battle] so that the LORD's community will not be like sheep without a shepherd."

18 So the LORD said to Moses, "Take Joshua, son of Nun, a man who has the Spirit, and place your hand on him.

19 Make him stand in front of the priest Eleazar and the whole community, and give him his instructions in their presence.

20 Give him some of your authority so that the whole community of Israel will obey him.

21 He will stand in front of the priest Eleazar, who will use the Urim to make decisions in the LORD's presence. At his command Joshua and the whole community of Israel will go into battle. And at his command they will return."

22 Moses did as the LORD commanded him. He took Joshua and made him stand in front of the priest Eleazar and the whole community.

23 Moses placed his hands on Joshua and gave him his instructions as the LORD had told him.
