Book Order Plan

¹The daughters of Zelophehad approached; Zelophehad was the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh from the clans of Manasseh, the son of Joseph. These were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

²They stood before Moses, the priest Eleazar, the leaders, and the entire community at the entrance to the tent of meeting and said,

³“Our father died in the wilderness, but he was not among Korah’s followers, who gathered together against the LORD. Instead, he died because of his own sin, and he had no sons.

⁴Why should the name of our father be taken away from his clan? Since he had no son, give us property among our father’s brothers.”

⁵Moses brought their case before the LORD,

⁶and the LORD answered him,

⁷“What Zelophehad’s daughters say is correct. You are to give them hereditary property among their father’s brothers and transfer their father’s inheritance to them.

⁸Tell the Israelites: When a man dies without having a son, transfer his inheritance to his daughter.

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

¹⁰If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.

¹¹If his father has no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative of his clan, and he will take possession of it. This is to be a statutory ordinance for the Israelites as the LORD commanded Moses.”

¹²Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range and see the land that I have given the Israelites.

¹³After you have seen it, you will also be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was.

¹⁴When the community quarreled in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you rebelled against my command to demonstrate my holiness in their sight at the waters.” Those were the Waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin.

¹⁵So Moses appealed to the LORD,

¹⁶“May the LORD, the God who gives breath to all, appoint a man over the community

¹⁷who will go out before them and come back in before them, and who will bring them out and bring them in, so that the LORD’s community won’t be like sheep without a shepherd.”

¹⁸The LORD replied to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man who has the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.

¹⁹Have him stand before the priest Eleazar and the whole community, and commission him in their sight.

²⁰Confer some of your authority on him so that the entire Israelite community will obey him.

²¹He will stand before the priest Eleazar who will consult the LORD for him with the decision of the Urim. He and all the Israelites with him, even the entire community, will go out and come back in at his command.”

²²Moses did as the LORD commanded him. He took Joshua, had him stand before the priest Eleazar and the entire community,

²³laid his hands on him, and commissioned him, as the LORD had spoken through Moses.

¹The LORD spoke to Moses,

²“Command the Israelites and say to them: Be sure to present to me at its appointed time my offering and my food as my fire offering, a pleasing aroma to me.

³And say to them: This is the fire offering you are to present to the LORD: “Each day present two unblemished year-old male lambs as a regular burnt offering.
