New Living Translation

1The daughters of Zelophehad approached; Zelophehad was the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh from the clans of Manasseh, the son of Joseph. These were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

1One day a petition was presented by the daughters of Zelophehad—Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. Their father, Zelophehad, was a descendant of Hepher son of Gilead, son of Makir, son of Manasseh, son of Joseph.

2They stood before Moses, the priest Eleazar, the leaders, and the entire community at the entrance to the tent of meeting and said,

2These women stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the tribal leaders, and the entire community at the entrance of the Tabernacle.

3"Our father died in the wilderness, but he was not among Korah's followers, who gathered together against the LORD. Instead, he died because of his own sin, and he had no sons.

3“Our father died in the wilderness,” they said. “He was not among Korah’s followers, who rebelled against the LORD; he died because of his own sin. But he had no sons.

4Why should the name of our father be taken away from his clan? Since he had no son, give us property among our father's brothers."

4Why should the name of our father disappear from his clan just because he had no sons? Give us property along with the rest of our relatives.”

5Moses brought their case before the LORD,

5So Moses brought their case before the LORD.

6and the LORD answered him,

6And the LORD replied to Moses,

7"What Zelophehad's daughters say is correct. You are to give them hereditary property among their father's brothers and transfer their father's inheritance to them.

7“The claim of the daughters of Zelophehad is legitimate. You must give them a grant of land along with their father’s relatives. Assign them the property that would have been given to their father.

8Tell the Israelites: When a man dies without having a son, transfer his inheritance to his daughter.

8“And give the following instructions to the people of Israel: If a man dies and has no son, then give his inheritance to his daughters.

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

9And if he has no daughter either, transfer his inheritance to his brothers.

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

10If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.

11If his father has no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative of his clan, and he will take possession of it. This is to be a statutory ordinance for the Israelites as the LORD commanded Moses."

11But if his father has no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan. This is a legal requirement for the people of Israel, just as the LORD commanded Moses.” Joshua Chosen to Lead Israel

12Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go up this mountain of the Abarim range and see the land that I have given the Israelites.

12One day the LORD said to Moses, “Climb one of the mountains east of the river, and look out over the land I have given the people of Israel.

13After you have seen it, you will also be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was.

13After you have seen it, you will die like your brother, Aaron,

14When the community quarreled in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you rebelled against my command to demonstrate my holiness in their sight at the waters." Those were the Waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin.

14for you both rebelled against my instructions in the wilderness of Zin. When the people of Israel rebelled, you failed to demonstrate my holiness to them at the waters.” (These are the waters of Meribah at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)

15So Moses appealed to the LORD,

15Then Moses said to the LORD,

16"May the LORD, the God who gives breath to all, appoint a man over the community

16“O LORD, you are the God who gives breath to all creatures. Please appoint a new man as leader for the community.

17who will go out before them and come back in before them, and who will bring them out and bring them in, so that the LORD's community won't be like sheep without a shepherd."

17Give them someone who will guide them wherever they go and will lead them into battle, so the community of the LORD will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”

18The LORD replied to Moses, "Take Joshua son of Nun, a man who has the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.

18The LORD replied, “Take Joshua son of Nun, who has the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.

19Have him stand before the priest Eleazar and the whole community, and commission him in their sight.

19Present him to Eleazar the priest before the whole community, and publicly commission him to lead the people.

20Confer some of your authority on him so that the entire Israelite community will obey him.

20Transfer some of your authority to him so the whole community of Israel will obey him.

21He will stand before the priest Eleazar who will consult the LORD for him with the decision of the Urim. He and all the Israelites with him, even the entire community, will go out and come back in at his command."

21When direction from the LORD is needed, Joshua will stand before Eleazar the priest, who will use the Urim—one of the sacred lots cast before the LORD—to determine his will. This is how Joshua and the rest of the community of Israel will determine everything they should do.”

22Moses did as the LORD commanded him. He took Joshua, had him stand before the priest Eleazar and the entire community,

22So Moses did as the LORD commanded. He presented Joshua to Eleazar the priest and the whole community.

23laid his hands on him, and commissioned him, as the LORD had spoken through Moses.

23Moses laid his hands on him and commissioned him to lead the people, just as the LORD had commanded through Moses.
