1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1Then the daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh of the families of Manasseh, the son Joseph came forward. Now these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2And they stood before Moses and Eleazar the priest and the leaders of the whole assembly at the entrance to the tent of meeting and said,
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3"Our father died in the wilderness, although he was not part of the company of those that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but he died for his own sin, and he had no sons.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4Why should the name of our father be lost from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession among the relatives of our father."
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5So Moses brought their case before the LORD.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6The LORD said to Moses:
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7"The daughters of Zelophehad have a valid claim. You must indeed give them possession of an inheritance among their father's relatives, and you must transfer the inheritance of their father to them.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8And you must tell the Israelites, 'If a man dies and has no son, then you must transfer his inheritance to his daughter;
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9and if he has no daughter, then you are to give his inheritance to his brothers;
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10and if he has no brothers, then you are to give his inheritance to his father's brothers;
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11and if his father has no brothers, then you are to give his inheritance to his relative nearest to him from his family, and he will possess it. This will be for the Israelites a legal requirement, as the LORD commanded Moses.'"
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go up this mountain of the Abarim range, and see the land I have given to the Israelites.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13When you have seen it, you will be gathered to your ancestors, as Aaron your brother was gathered to his ancestors.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14For in the wilderness of Zin when the community rebelled against me, you rebelled against my command to show me as holy before their eyes over the water--the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin."
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15Then Moses spoke to the LORD:
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16"Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all humankind, appoint a man over the community,
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17who will go out before them, and who will come in before them, and who will lead them out, and who will bring them in, so that the community of the LORD may not be like sheep that have no shepherd."
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18The LORD replied to Moses, "Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is such a spirit, and lay your hand on him;
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19set him before Eleazar the priest and before the whole community, and commission him publicly.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20Then you must delegate some of your authority to him, so that the whole community of the Israelites will be obedient.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21And he will stand before Eleazar the priest, who will seek counsel for him before the LORD by the decision of the Urim. At his command they will go out, and at his command they will come in, he and all the Israelites with him, the whole community."
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22So Moses did as the LORD commanded him; he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before the whole community.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, just as the LORD commanded, by the authority of Moses.
