Numbers 27

1 Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, 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.

Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the sonne of Hepher, the sonne of Gilead, the sonne of Machir, the sonne of Manasseh, of the familie of Manasseh, the sonne of Ioseph (and the names of his daughters were these, Mahlah, Noah and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah)

2 They stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the cohen, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the Tent of Meeting, saying,

And stoode before Moses, and before Eleazar the Priest, and before the Princes, and all the assemblie, at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying,

3 "Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.

Our father dyed in the wildernes, and he was not among the assemblie of them that were assembled against the Lord in the companie of Korah, but died in his sinne, and had no sonnes.

4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father."

Wherefore should the name of our father be taken away from among his familie, because he hath no sonne? giue vs a possession among the brethren of our father.

5 Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

Then Moses brought their cause before the Lord.

6 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

7 "The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: you shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers; and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.

The daughters of Zelophehad speake right: thou shalt giue them a possession to inherite among their fathers brethren, and shalt turne the inheritance of their father vnto them.

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

Also thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die and haue no sonne, then ye shall turne his inheritaunce vnto his daughter.

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

And if he haue no daughter, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his brethren.

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

And if he haue no brethren, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his fathers brethren.

11 If his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be to the children of Israel a statute and ordinance, as the LORD commanded Moses.'"

And if his father haue no brethren, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his next kinsman of his familie, and he shall possesse it: and this shall be vnto the children of Israel a law of iudgement, as the Lord hath commanded Moses.

12 The LORD said to Moses, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

Againe the Lord said vnto Moses, Go vp into this mount of Abarim, and behold ye lande which I haue giuen vnto the children of Israel.

13 When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;

And when thou hast seene it, thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people also, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.

14 because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes." (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)

For ye were disobedient vnto my worde in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the assemblie, to sanctifie me in the waters before their eyes. That is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wildernesse of Zin.

15 Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,

Then Moses spake vnto the Lord, saying,

16 "Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,

Let the Lord God of the spirits of all flesh appoint a man ouer the Congregation,

17 who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD not be as sheep which have no shepherd."

Who may goe out and in before them, and leade them out and in, that the Congregation of the Lord be not as sheepe, which haue not a shepheard.

18 The LORD said to Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Ruach, and lay your hand on him;

And the Lord said vnto Moses, Take thee Ioshua the sonne of Nun, in whom is the Spirite, and put thine handes vpon him,

19 and set him before Eleazar the cohen, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.

And set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation, and giue him a charge in their sight.

20 You shall put of your honor on him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.

And giue him of thy glory, that all the Congregation of ye children of Israel may obey.

21 He shall stand before Eleazar the cohen, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the 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 he shall stande before Eleazar the Priest, who shall aske counsell for him by the iudgement of Vrim before the Lord: at his worde they shall goe out, and at his worde they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him and all the Congregation.

22 Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the cohen, and before all the congregation:

So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him, and he tooke Ioshua, and set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation.

23 and he laid his hands on him, and commissioned him, as the LORD spoke by Moses.

Then he put his handes vpon him, and gaue him a charge, as the Lord had spoken by the hand of Moses.
