Numbers 27 And the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the family of Manasseh, the son of Joseph came. And these are his daughters names: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the family of Manasseh, the son of Joseph came. And these are his daughters names: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. ² They came before Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs and all the people at the door of the Tent of meeting, and said, ³ "Our father died in the desert. He was not a part of Korah's followers who joined forces against the LORD. He died for his own sin and left no sons. ⁴ "Why should our father's name be allowed to die out in his family because he had no son? Give us property among our father's relatives." ⁵ So Moses brought their case before the LORD. ⁶ the LORD said to him: ⁷ "Zelophehad's daughters are right. You must give them property of their own among their father's relatives. Turn their father's property over to them. ⁸ "Tell the Israelites: 'If a man dies and leaves no sons, turn his property over to his daughters. ⁹ "'If he has no daughters give his property to his brothers. ¹⁰ And if he has no brothers, then give his heritage to his father's brothers. ¹¹ "'If he has no uncles, give his property to the nearest relative in his family. That relative will take possession of it. This will be a rule for the Israelites, as the LORD commanded Moses.'" ¹² the LORD said to Moses, "Go up to this mountain of Abarim, and see the land that I have given to the Israelites. ¹³ And when you have seen it, you will be put to rest with your people, as your brother Aaron was: ¹⁴ because you rebelled against my word in the desert of Zin when the community quarreled regarding my holiness at the waters." (These are the waters of Meribah-Kadesh in the desert of Zin.) ¹⁵ And Moses said to the Lord, ¹⁶ "Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the community ¹⁷ And may go out and in before them, and may lead them out, or bring them in: lest the people of the Lord be as sheep without a shepherd. ¹⁸ Then the LORD said to Moses, "Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and place your hand on him. ¹⁹ Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and before the entire community, and commission him in their sight. ²⁰ "Give him some of your authority, so that the whole congregation of Israel will obey him. ²¹ And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before LORD. At his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the sons of Israel with him, even ²² Moses did as the LORD commanded him. He had Joshua stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation. ²³ and he laid his hands on him, and commissioned him, as the LORD spoke by Moses.
