Numbers 27

 Numbers 27

 

1 Then came the daughters of First-born (Zelophehad), the son of A Well (Hepher), the son of Rocky Region (Gilead), the son of Sold (Machir), the son of Causing to Forget (Manasseh), of the families of Causing to Forget (Manasseh) the son of I AM Will Add (Joseph): and these are the names of his daughters; Disease (Mahlah), Rest (Noah), Partridge (Hoglah), Queen (Milcah), and Favorable (Tirzah).

 

2 They stood before Drawn (Moses), and before God Has Helped (Eleazar) the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying:

 

3 Our father died in the wilderness. He was not in the company of those that gathered themselves together against I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) in the company of Bald (Korah); but died in his own sin, and had no sons.

 

4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he has no son? Therefore, give us a possession among the brethren of our father.

 

5 Drawn (Moses) brought their cause before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).

 

6 The Lord spoke to Drawn (Moses), saying:

 

7 The daughters of First-born (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 to them.

 

8 You shall speak to the children of God Prevails (Israel), saying: If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.

 

9 If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brethren.

 

10 If he has no brethren, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brethren.

 

11 If his father has no brethren, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be to the children of God Prevails (Israel) a statute of judgment, as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah)  commanded Drawn (Moses).

 

12 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses): Go up into the mountain range of Regions Beyond (Abarim), and see the land which I have given to the children of God Prevails (Israel).

 

13 When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Light Bringer (Aaron) your brother was gathered.

 

14 For you rebelled against My commandment in the desert of Flat (Zin), in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify Me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Place of Strife (Meribah) in Holy (Kadesh) in the wilderness of Flat (Zin).

 

15 Then Drawn (Moses) spoke to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), saying,

 

16 Let I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), the God ('Elohiym) of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,

 

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 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), be not as sheep which have no shepherd.

 

18 So I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses), Take Jehovah is Salvation (Joshua) the son of Posterity (Nun), a man in whom is the spirit, and lay your hand on him.

 

19 Set him before God Has Helped (Eleazar) the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

 

20 You shall put some of your honor on him, that all the congregation of the children of God Prevails (Israel) may be obedient.

 

21 He shall stand before God Has Helped (Eleazar) the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Lights (Urim) before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah): at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of God Prevails (Israel) with him, even all the congregation.

 

22 So Drawn (Moses) did as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commanded him: and he took Jehovah is Salvation (Joshua), and set him before God Has Helped (Eleazar) the priest, and before all the congregation:

 

23 Then he laid his hands on him, and gave him a charge, as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commanded by the hand of Drawn (Moses).
