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 them that 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 spake 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 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.
