1The daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, belonged to the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. The names of the daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirzah. They came forward

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.

2and stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders and the whole assembly at the entrance to the tent of meeting and said,

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

3"Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among Korah's followers, who banded together against the LORD, but he died for his own sin and left no sons.

3Our 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.

4Why should our father's name disappear from his clan because he had no son? Give us property among our father's relatives."

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."

5So Moses brought their case before the LORD,

5Moses brought their case before the LORD,

6and the LORD said to him,

6and the LORD answered him, "

7"What Zelophehad's daughters are saying is right. You must certainly give them property as an inheritance among their father's relatives and give their father's inheritance to them.

7What 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.

8"Say to the Israelites, 'If a man dies and leaves no son, give his inheritance to his daughter.

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

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

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

11If his father had no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan, that he may possess it. This is to have the force of law for the Israelites, as the LORD commanded Moses.'"

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."

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

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

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

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

14for when the community rebelled at the waters in the Desert of Zin, both of you disobeyed my command to honor me as holy before their eyes." (These were the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Desert of Zin.)

14When the community quarreled in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you rebelled against My command to show My holiness in their sight at the waters." Those were the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin.

15Moses said to the LORD,

15So Moses appealed to the LORD,"

16"May the LORD, the God who gives breath to all living things, appoint someone over this community

16May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the community

17to go out and come in before them, one who will lead them out and bring them in, so the LORD's people will not be like sheep without a shepherd."

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."

18So the LORD said to Moses, "Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit of leadership, and lay your hand on him.

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

19Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the entire assembly and commission him in their presence.

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

20Give him some of your authority so the whole Israelite community will obey him.

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

21He is to stand before Eleazar the priest, who will obtain decisions for him by inquiring of the Urim before the LORD. At his command he and the entire community of the Israelites will go out, and at his command they will come in."

21He will stand before 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."

22Moses did as the LORD commanded him. He took Joshua and had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole assembly.

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

23Then he laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD instructed through Moses.

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