The Daughters of Zelophehad
Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, from the clans of Manasseh the son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

The Daughters of Zelophehad
One day a petition was presented by the daughters of Zelophehad — Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. Their father, Zelophehad, was a descendant of Hepher son of Gilead, son of Makir, son of Manasseh, son of Joseph.

And they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the chiefs and all the congregation, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying,
“Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah, but died for his own sin. And he had no sons.
“Our father died in the wilderness,” they said. “He was not among Korah’s followers, who rebelled against the LORD; he died because of his own sin. But he had no sons.
Why should the name of our father be taken away from his clan because he had no son? Give to us a possession among our father’s brothers.”
Why should the name of our father disappear from his clan just because he had no sons? Give us property along with the rest of our relatives.”
“The daughters of Zelophehad are right. You shall give them possession of an inheritance among their father’s brothers and transfer the inheritance of their father to them.
“The claim of the daughters of Zelophehad is legitimate. You must give them a grant of land along with their father’s relatives. Assign them the property that would have been given to their father.
And you shall speak to the people of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter.
“And give the following instructions to the people of Israel: If a man dies and has no son, then give his inheritance to his daughters.
And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
And if he has no daughter either, transfer his inheritance to his brothers.
And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the nearest kinsman of his clan, and he shall possess it. And it shall be for the people of Israel a statute and rule, as the Lord commanded Moses.’”
But if his father has no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan. This is a legal requirement for the people of Israel, just as the LORD commanded Moses.”
Joshua to Succeed Moses
The Lord said to Moses, “Go up into this mountain of Abarim and see the land that I have given to the people of Israel.
The Lord said to Moses, “Go up into this mountain of Abarim and see the land that I have given to the people of Israel.
When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was,
After you have seen it, you will die like your brother, Aaron,
because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin when the congregation quarreled, failing to uphold me as holy at the waters before their eyes.” (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
“Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation
“O LORD, you are the God who gives breath to all creatures. Please appoint a new man as leader for the community.
who shall go out before them and come in before them, who shall lead them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the Lord may not be as sheep that have no shepherd.”
Give them someone who will guide them wherever they go and will lead them into battle, so the community of the LORD will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”
So the Lord said to Moses, “Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him.
The LORD replied, “Take Joshua son of Nun, who has the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.
Make him stand before Eleazar the priest and all the congregation, and you shall commission him in their sight.
Present him to Eleazar the priest before the whole community, and publicly commission him to lead the people.
You shall invest him with some of your authority, that all the congregation of the people of Israel may obey.
Transfer some of your authority to him so the whole community of Israel will obey him.
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the Lord. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the people of Israel with him, the whole congregation.”
When direction from the LORD is needed, Joshua will stand before Eleazar the priest, who will use the Urim — one of the sacred lots cast before the LORD — to determine his will. This is how Joshua and the rest of the community of Israel will determine everything they should do.”
And Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua and made him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation,
So Moses did as the LORD commanded. He presented Joshua to Eleazar the priest and the whole community.
