Numbers 27

1 Then 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 forward: their names are Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

And they drew near [the] daughters of Zelophehad [the] son of Hepher [the] son of Gilead [the] son of Makir [the] son of Manasseh of [the] clans of Manasseh [the] son of Joseph and these [were] [the] names of daughters his Mahlah Noah and Hoglah and 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,

And they took their stand before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the leaders and all the congregation [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting saying.

3 Death overtook our father in the waste land; he was not among those who were banded together with Korah against the Lord; but death came to him in his sin; and he had no sons.

Father our he died in the wilderness and he not he was in among the company which gathered on Yahweh in [the] company of Korah for in own sin his he died and sons not they belonged to him.

4 Why is the name of our father to be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give us a heritage among our father's brothers.

Why? will it be withdrawn [the] name of father our from among clan his for not [belonged] to him a son give! to us a possession in among [the] brothers of father our.

5 So Moses put their cause before the Lord.

And he brought near Moses case their before Yahweh.

6 And the Lord said to Moses,

And he said Yahweh to Moses saying.

7 What the daughters of Zelophehad say is right: certainly you are to give them a heritage among their father's brothers: and let the property which would have been their father's go to them.

Right [the] daughters of Zelophehad [are] speaking certainly you will give to them possession of an inheritance in among [the] brothers of father their and you will make pass over [the] inheritance of father their to them.

8 And say to the children of Israel, If a man has no son at the time of his death, let his heritage go to his daughter.

And to [the] people of Israel you will speak saying a man if he will die and a son not [belongs] to him and you will make pass over inheritance his to daughter his.

9 And if he has no daughter, then give his heritage to his brothers.

And if not [belongs] to him a daughter and you will give inheritance his to brothers his.

10 And if he has no brothers, then give his heritage to his father's brothers.

And if not [belong] to him brothers and you will give inheritance his to [the] brothers of father his.

11 And if his father has no brothers, then give it to his nearest relation in the family, as his heritage: this is to be a decision made by law for the children of Israel, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

And if not brothers [belong] to father his and you will give inheritance his to relative his near to him from own clan his and he will take possession of it and it will become for [the] people of Israel a statute of judgment just as he has commanded Yahweh Moses.

12 And the Lord said to Moses, Go up into this mountain of Abarim so that you may see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

And he said Yahweh to Moses go up to [the] mountain of the Abarim this and see the land which I have given to [the] people of Israel.

13 And when you have seen it, you will be put to rest with your people, as your brother Aaron was:

And you will see it and you will be gathered to people your also you just as he was gathered Aaron brother your.

14 Because in the waste land of Zin, when the people were angry, you and he went against my word and did not keep my name holy before their eyes, at the waters. (These are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh in the waste land of Zin.)

Since you rebelled against mouth my in [the] wilderness of Zin in [the] strife of the congregation to treat as holy me at the waters to eyes their they [were] [the] waters of Meribath Kadesh [the] wilderness of Zin.

15 Then Moses said to the Lord,

And he spoke Moses to Yahweh saying.

16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, put a man at the head of this people,

Let him appoint Yahweh [the] God of the spirits of all flesh a man over the congregation.

17 To go out and come in before them and be their guide; so that the people of the Lord may not be like sheep without a keeper.

Who he will go out before them and who he will come before them and who he will lead out them and who he will bring them and not it will be [the] congregation of Yahweh like sheep which not [belongs] to them a shepherd.

18 And the Lord said to Moses, Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and put your hand on him;

And he said Yahweh to Moses take for yourself Joshua [the] son of Nun a man whom a spirit [is] in him and you will lay hand your on him.

19 And take him before Eleazar the priest and all the meeting of the people, and give him his orders before their eyes.

And you will make stand him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation and you will commission him to eyes their.

20 And put your honour on him, so that all the children of Israel may be under his authority.

And you will put some of majesty your on him so that they may hear all [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel.

21 He will take his place before Eleazar the priest, so that he may get directions from the Lord for him, with the Urim: at his word they will go out, and at his word they will come in, he and all the children of Israel.

And before Eleazar the priest he will stand and he will enquire for him by [the] judgment of the Urim before Yahweh on mouth his they will go out and on mouth his they will come he and all [the] people of Israel with him and all the congregation.

22 So Moses did as the Lord said: he took Joshua and put him before Eleazar the priest and the meeting of the people:

And he did Moses just as he had commanded Yahweh him and he took Joshua and he made stand him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation.

23 And he put his hands on him and gave him his orders, as the Lord had said by Moses.

And he laid hands his on him and he commissioned him just as he had spoken Yahweh by [the] hand of Moses.
