* Then came the daughters of Zelophehad , the sonne of Hepher , the sonne of Gilead , the sonne of Machir , the sonne of Manasseh , of the familie of Manasseh , the sonne of Ioseph (and the names of his daughters were these , Mahlah , Noah and Hoglah , and Milcah , and Tirzah ) * And stoode before Moses , and before Eleazar the Priest , and before the Princes , and all the assemblie , at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation , saying , * 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 (note :)According as all men die , for as much as they are sinners .(:note ) sin , and had no sons . * Wherefore should the name of our father be taken away from among his familie , because he hath no sonne ? giue vs a possession among the brethren of our father . * And Moses brought their (note :)That is , their matter to be judged , to know what he should determine , as he did all hard matters .(:note ) cause before the LORD . * And the Lorde spake vnto Moses , saying , * The daughters of Zelophehad speake right : thou shalt giue them a possession to inherite among their fathers brethren , and shalt turne the inheritance of their father vnto them . * Also thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel , saying , If a man die and haue no sonne , then ye shall turne his inheritaunce vnto his daughter . * And if he haue no daughter , ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his brethren . * And if he haue no brethren , ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his fathers brethren . * 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 (note :)Meaning , an ordinance to judge by .(:note ) judgment , as the LORD commanded Moses . * Againe the Lord said vnto Moses , Go vp into this mount of Abarim , &amp ; behold ye lande which I haue giuen vnto the children of Israel . * And when thou hast seene it , thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people also , as Aaron thy brother was gathered . * For ye were disobedient vnto my worde in the desert of Zin , in the strife of the assemblie , to sanctifie me in the waters before their eyes . That is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wildernesse of Zin . * Then Moses spake vnto the Lord , saying , * Let the LORD , the God of the (note :)Who as he has created , so he governs the hearts of all men .(:note ) spirits of all flesh , set a man over the congregation , * Which may (note :)That is , govern them and do his duty , as in ( 2Ch_1:10 ).(:note ) 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 . * And the LORD said unto Moses , Take thee Joshua the son of Nun , a man in whom [is ] the spirit , and (note :)And so appoint him governor .(:note ) lay thine hand upon him ; * And set him before Eleazar the Priest , and before all the Congregation , and giue him a charge in their sight . * And thou shalt (note :)Commend him to the people as suitable for the office and appointed by God .(:note ) put [some ] of thine honour upon him , that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient . * And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest , who shall ask [counsel ] for him after the (note :)According to his office : signifying that the civil magistrate could execute nothing but that which he knew to be the will of God .(:note ) 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 . * So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him , and he tooke Ioshua , and set him before Eleazar the Priest , &amp ; before all the Congregation . * And he laid his hands upon him , and gave him a (note :)How he should govern himself in his office .(:note ) charge , as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses .
