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.
02 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,
03 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 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.
05 And Moses brought their cause before the
Lord.
06 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
07 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.
08 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.
09 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
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.

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 spake unto the Lord, saying,
16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of
all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
17 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.
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 honour
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 after the
judgment of 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.
