2 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 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? will it be withdrawn [the] name of father our from among clan his for not [belonged] to him a son give!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 And he brought near Moses case their before Yahweh.
6 And he said Yahweh to Moses saying.
7 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 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 not [belongs] to him a daughter and you will give inheritance his to brothers his.
10 And if not [belong] to him brothers and you will give inheritance his to [the] brothers of father his.
11 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.

17 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.

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