27:1 And the daughters of Salpaad the son of 
    Opher, the son of Galaad, the son of Machir, of the tribe of Manasse, of the 
    sons of Joseph, came near; and these were their names, Maala, and Nua, and 
    Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa; 
     
    27:2 and they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before 
    the princes, and before all the congregation at the door of the tabernacle 
    of witness, saying, 
     
    27:3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the midst of the 
    congregation that rebelled against Yehovah in the gathering of Core; for he 
    died for his own sin, and he had no sons. Let not the name of our father be 
    blotted out of the midst of his people, because he has no son give us an 
    inheritance in the midst of our father's brethren. 
     
    27:4 And Moses brought their case before Yehovah. 
     
    27:5 And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
     
    27:6 The daughters of Salpaad have spoken rightly: thou shalt surely give 
    them a possession of inheritance in the midst of their father's brethren, 
    and thou shalt assign their father's inheritance to them. 
     
    27:7 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, 
     
    27:8 If a man die, and have no son, ye shall assign his inheritance to his 
    daughter. 
     
    27:9 And if he have no daughter, ye shall give his inheritance to his 
    brother. 
     
    27:10 And if he have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance to his 
    father's brother. 
     
    27:11 And if there be no brethren of his father, ye shall give the 
    inheritance to his nearest relation of his tribe, to inherit his 
    possessions; and this shall be to the children of Israel an ordinance of 
    judgment, as Yehovah commanded Moses. 
     
    27:12 And Yehovah said to Moses, Go up to the mountain that is in the 
    country beyond Jordan, this mount Nabau, and behold the land Chanaan, which 
    I give to the sons of Israel for a possession. 
     
    27:13 And thou shalt see it, and thou also shalt be added to thy people, as 
    Aaron thy brother was added [to them] in mount Or: 
     
    27:14 because ye transgressed my commandment in the wilderness of Sin, when 
    the congregation resisted [and refused] to sanctify me; ye sanctified me not 
    at the water before them. This is the water of Strife in Cades in the 
    wilderness of Sin. 
     
    27:15 And Moses said to Yehovah, 
     
    27:16 Let Yehovah Elohim of spirits and of all flesh look out for a man over 
    this congregation, 
     
    27:17 who shall go out before them, and who shall come in before them, and 
    who shall lead them out, and who shall bring them in; so the congregation of 
    Yehovah shall not be as sheep without a shepherd. 
     
    27:18 And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying, Take to thyself Joshua the son of 
    Naue, a man who has the Spirit in him, and thou shalt lay thy hands upon 
    him. 
     
    27:19 And thou shalt set him before Eleazar the priest, and thou shalt give 
    hi a charge before all the congregation, and thou shalt give a charge 
    concerning him before them. 
     
    27:20 And thou shalt put of thy glory upon him, that the children of Israel 
    may hearken to him. 
     
    27:21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, and they shall ask of 
    him before Yehovah the judgment of the Urim: they shall go forth at his 
    word, and at his word they shall come in, he and the children of Israel with 
    one accord, and all the congregation. 
     
    27:22 And Moses did as Yehovah commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set 
    him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation. 
     
    27:23 And he laid his hands on him, and appointed him as Yehovah ordered 
    Moses.  | 
    27:1 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. 
     
    27:2 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, 
     
    27:3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of 
    them that gathered themselves together against Yehovah in the company of 
    Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons. 
     
    27:4 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. 
     
    27:5 And Moses brought their cause before Yehovah. 
     
    27:6 And Yehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 
     
    27:7 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. 
     
    27:8 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. 
     
    27:9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his 
    brethren. 
     
    27:10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto 
    his father's brethren. 
     
    27:11 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 
    Yehovah commanded Moses. 
     
    27:12 And Yehovah said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and 
    see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel. 
     
    27:13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy 
    people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered. 
     
    27:14 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. 
     
    27:15 And Moses spake unto Yehovah, saying, 
     
    27:16 Let Yehovah, the Elohim of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the 
    congregation, 
     
    27:17 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 Yehovah be not as sheep which have no shepherd. 
     
    27:18 And Yehovah said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man 
    in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him; 
     
    27:19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the 
    congregation; and give him a charge in their sight. 
     
    27:20 And thou shalt put some of thine honor upon him, that all the 
    congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient. 
     
    27:21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel 
    for him after the judgment of Urim before Yehovah: 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. 
     
    27:22 And Moses did as Yehovah commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set 
    him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation: 
     
    27:23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as Yehovah 
    commanded by the hand of Moses.  |
