Book Order Plan

¹Then 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, came forward; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

²They stood before Moses, before Eleazar the priest, before the leaders, and all the congregation at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying,

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

⁴Why should the name of our father be withdrawn from among his family simply because he had no son? Give us property among our father’s brothers.”

⁵So Moses brought their case before the LORD.

⁶Then the LORD said to Moses,

⁷“The daughters of Zelophehad are right about their statements. You shall certainly give them hereditary property among their father’s brothers, and you shall transfer the inheritance of their father to them.

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

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

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

¹¹And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his nearest relative in his own family, and he shall take possession of it; and it shall be a statutory ordinance to the sons of Israel, just as the LORD has commanded Moses.’ ”

¹²Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go up to this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel.

¹³When you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people, just as Aaron your brother was;

¹⁴for in the wilderness of Zin, during the strife of the congregation, you rebelled against My command to treat Me as holy before their eyes at the water.” (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)

¹⁵Then Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,

¹⁶“May the LORD, the God of the spirits of humanity, appoint a man over the congregation,

¹⁷who will go out and come in before them, and lead them out and bring them in, so that the congregation of the LORD will not be like sheep that have no shepherd.”

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

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

²⁰And you shall put some of your authority on him, so that all the congregation of the sons of Israel will obey him.

²¹Moreover, he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the LORD. At his command they shall go out, and at his command they shall come in, both he and all the sons of Israel with him, all the congregation.”

²²Then Moses did just as the LORD commanded him; he took Joshua and had him stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation.

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

¹Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

²“Command the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘You shall be careful to present to Me My offering, My food for My offerings by fire, of a soothing aroma to Me, at their appointed time.’

³And you shall say to them, ‘This is the offering by fire which you shall offer to the LORD: two male lambs one year old without defect as a continual burnt offering every day.

⁴You shall offer the one lamb in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight;

⁵also a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with a fourth of a hin of pure oil.

⁶It is a continual burnt offering which was ordained on Mount Sinai as a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the LORD.

⁷Then the drink offering with it shall be a fourth of a hin for each lamb; in the Holy Place pour out a drink offering of strong drink to the LORD.

⁸The other lamb you shall offer at twilight; as the grain offering of the morning and as its drink offering, you shall offer it, an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the LORD.

⁹‘Then on the Sabbath day two male lambs one year old without defect, and two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and its drink offering:

¹⁰This is the burnt offering of every Sabbath in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

¹¹‘Then at the beginning of each of your months you shall present a burnt offering to the LORD: two bulls and one ram, seven male lambs one year old without defect;

¹²and three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, for each bull; and two-tenths of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, for the one ram;

¹³and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering for each lamb, as a burnt offering of a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the LORD.

¹⁴Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull and a third of a hin for the ram and a fourth of a hin for a lamb; this is the burnt offering of each month throughout the months of the year.

¹⁵And one male goat as a sin offering to the LORD; it shall be offered with its drink offering in addition to the continual burnt offering.

¹⁶‘The LORD’S Passover shall be on the fourteenth day of the first month.

¹⁷On the fifteenth day of this month there shall be a feast; unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days.

¹⁸On the first day there shall be a holy assembly; you shall do no laborious work.

¹⁹But you shall present an offering by fire, a burnt offering to the LORD: two bulls and one ram, and seven male lambs one year old, that you have without defect.

²⁰For their grain offering, you shall offer fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenths of an ephah for a bull, and two-tenths for the ram.

²¹A tenth of an ephah you shall offer for each of the seven lambs;

²²and one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for you.

²³You shall present these besides the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.

²⁴In this way you shall present daily, for seven days, the food of the offering by fire, of a soothing aroma to the LORD; it shall be presented with its drink offering in addition to the continual burnt offering.

²⁵On the seventh day you shall have a holy assembly; you shall do no laborious work.

²⁶‘Also on the day of the first fruits, when you present a new grain offering to the LORD in your Feast of Weeks, you shall have a holy assembly; you shall do no laborious work.

²⁷But you shall offer a burnt offering as a soothing aroma to the LORD: two bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs one year old;

²⁸and as their grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenths of an ephah for each bull, two-tenths for the one ram,

²⁹and a tenth for each of the seven lambs;

³⁰also one male goat to make atonement for you.

³¹Besides the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, you shall present them with their drink offerings. They shall be without defect.

¹‘Now in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a holy assembly; you shall do no laborious work. It will be to you a day for blowing trumpets.

²And you shall offer a burnt offering as a soothing aroma to the LORD: one bull, one ram, and seven male lambs one year old without defect;

³also their grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenths of an ephah for the bull, two-tenths for the ram,

⁴and a tenth for each of the seven lambs,

⁵and one male goat as a sin offering, to make atonement for you,

⁶besides the burnt offering of the new moon and its grain offering, and the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, and their drink offerings, according to their ordinance, for a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the LORD.

⁷‘Then on the tenth day of this seventh month you shall have a holy assembly, and you shall humble yourselves; you shall not do any work.

⁸You shall present a burnt offering to the LORD as a soothing aroma: one bull, one ram, and seven male lambs one year old, that you have without defect;

⁹and their grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenths of an ephah for the bull, two-tenths for the one ram,

¹⁰and a tenth for each of the seven lambs;

¹¹one male goat as a sin offering, besides the sin offering of atonement and the continual burnt offering, and its grain offering, and their drink offerings.

¹²‘Then on the fifteenth day of the seventh month you shall have a holy assembly; you shall do no laborious work, and you shall celebrate with a feast to the LORD for seven days.

¹³You shall present a burnt offering, an offering by fire as a soothing aroma to the LORD: thirteen bulls, two rams, and fourteen male lambs one year old, which are without defect;

¹⁴and their grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenths of an ephah for each of the thirteen bulls, two-tenths for each of the two rams,

¹⁵and a tenth for each of the fourteen lambs;

¹⁶and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, its grain offering, and its drink offering.

¹⁷‘Then on the second day: twelve bulls, two rams, and fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;

¹⁸and their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance;

¹⁹and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, and their drink offerings.

²⁰‘Then on the third day: eleven bulls, two rams, and fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;

²¹and their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance;

²²and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, and its drink offering.

²³‘Then on the fourth day: ten bulls, two rams, and fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;

²⁴their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance;

²⁵and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, its grain offering, and its drink offering.

²⁶‘Then on the fifth day: nine bulls, two rams, and fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;

²⁷and their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance;

²⁸and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, and its drink offering.

²⁹‘Then on the sixth day: eight bulls, two rams, and fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;

³⁰and their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance;

³¹and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, its grain offering, and its drink offerings.

³²‘Then on the seventh day: seven bulls, two rams, and fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;

³³and their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance;

³⁴and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, its grain offering, and its drink offering.

³⁵‘On the eighth day you shall have a sacred assembly; you shall do no laborious work.

³⁶But you shall present a burnt offering, an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the LORD: one bull, one ram, and seven male lambs one year old without defect;

³⁷their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bull, for the ram, and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance;

³⁸and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, and its drink offering.

³⁹‘You shall present these to the LORD at your appointed times, besides your vowed offerings and your voluntary offerings, for your burnt offerings, your grain offerings, your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings.’ ”

⁴⁰And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel in accordance with everything that the LORD had commanded Moses.
