Numbers:27
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
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 ,
*
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 .
*
Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family ,
because he has no son ?
Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father .
*
And Moses brought their cause before the LORD .
*
And the LORD spoke unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
The daughters of Zelophehad speak right :
you shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father '
s brethren ;
and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them .
*
And you shall speak unto the children of Israel ,
saying ,
If a man die ,
and have no son ,
then all of you shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter .
*
And if he have no daughter ,
then all of you shall give his inheritance unto his brethren .
*
And if he have no brethren ,
then all of you shall give his inheritance unto his father '
s brethren .
*
And if his father have no brethren ,
then all of you 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 .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Get you up into this mount Abarim ,
and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel .
*
And when you have seen it ,
you also shall be gathered unto your people ,
as Aaron your brother was gathered .
*
For all of you 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 .
*
And Moses spoke unto the LORD ,
saying ,
*
Let the LORD ,
the God of the spirits of all flesh ,
set a man over the congregation ,
*
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 .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Take you Joshua the son of Nun ,
a man in whom is the spirit ,
and lay yours 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 some of yours 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 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 .
*
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 ,
as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses .
