1. The daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher son of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh, from the families of Manasseh son of Joseph, came forward, and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
2. They stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the princes, and all the congregation at the entrance to the tent of meeting, saying,
3. Our father died in the wilderness, but he was not among the congregation of those who gathered against Yahweh in Korah's congregation, for he died in his own sin, and he had no sons.
4. Why should our father's name be cut off from his family, because he has no son? Give us a possession among our father's brothers.
5. Moses presented their case before Yahweh.
6. Yahweh answered Moses, saying,
7. Zelophehad's daughters speak rightly: you must give them an inherited possession among their father's brothers, and you shall pass their father's inheritance to them.
8. Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, If a man dies and has no son, you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
9. If he has no daughter, you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
10. If he has no brothers, you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers.
11. If his father has no brothers, you shall give his inheritance to his nearest kinsman from his family, and he shall possess it; it shall be a statute and judgment for the children of Israel, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
12. Yahweh said to Moses, "Go up to this mountain of Abarim and see the land that I have given to the sons of Israel."
13. When you see it, you too will be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered.
14. As you disobeyed my command in Zin's wilderness amid the assembly's strife, refusing to treat me as holy at the waters before their eyes—these are Meribah's waters at Kadesh in Zin's wilderness.
15. Moses spoke to Yahweh, saying,
16. May Yahweh, God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation.
17. who goes out before them and comes in before them, and who leads them out and brings them in, so that the congregation of Yahweh is not like sheep without a shepherd.
18. Yahweh said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him.”
19. Present him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and commission him before their eyes.
20. You shall give him some of your majesty, so that all the congregation of the sons of Israel may obey.
21. He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the Urim's judgment before Yahweh. They shall go out at his command and come in at his command—he and all Israel's children with him, the entire congregation.
22. Moses did as Yahweh commanded him, and he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation.
23. He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as Yahweh had spoken through Moses.
