* And 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 . And these [are ] the names of his daughters : Mahlah , Noah , and Hoglah , and Milcah , and Tirzah . * And they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest , and before the rulers and all the congregation , [by ] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation , saying , * Our father died in the wilderness , and he was not in the company of those who gathered themselves against the LORD in the company of Korah , but died in his own sin , and had no sons . * Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family , because he has no son ? Therefore give us a possession among the brothers of our father . * And Moses brought their cause before the LORD . * And the LORD spoke to Moses , saying , * The daughters of Zelophehad speak right . You shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father 's brothers . And you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them . * And you shall speak to the sons of Israel , saying , When a man dies , and has no son , then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter . * And if he has no daughter , then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers . * And if he has no brothers , then you shall give his inheritance to his father 's brothers . * And if his father has no brothers , then you shall give his inheritance to his nearest relative , of his family , and he shall possess it . And it shall be to the sons of Israel a statute of judgment , as the LORD commanded Moses . * And the LORD said to Moses , Get up into this Mount Abarim and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel . * And when you have seen it , you also shall be gathered to your people as Aaron your brother was gathered . * For you rebelled against My command in the desert of Zin , in the strife of the congregation , to sanctify Me at the water before their eyes ; they [were ] the Waters of Strife in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin . * And Moses spoke to the LORD , saying , * Let the LORD , the God of the spirits of all flesh , set a man over the congregation * who may go out before them , and who may go in before them , and who may lead them out , and who may bring them in , so that the congregation of the LORD may not be as sheep which have no shepherd . * And the LORD said to Moses , Take Joshua the son of Nun , a man in whom [is ] the Spirit , and lay your hand upon him . * And set him before Eleazar the priest , and before all the congregation , and give him a charge in their sight . * And you shall put of your honor on him , so that all the congregation of the sons of Israel may be obedient . * And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest , who shall ask for him according to the judgment of Urim before the LORD . At his word they shall go out , and at his word they shall come in , he and all the sons of Israel with him , even all the congregation . * And Moses did as the LORD commanded him . And he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation . * And he laid his hands upon him and gave him a charge , even as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses .
