27:1 And the daughters of Salpaad the son of
Opher, the son of Galaad, the son of Machir, of the tribe of Manasse, of the
sons of Joseph, came near; and these were their names, Maala, and Nua, and
Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa;
27:2 and they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before
the princes, and before all the congregation at the door of the tabernacle
of witness, saying,
27:3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the midst of the
congregation that rebelled against the Lord in the gathering of Core; for he
died for his own sin, and he had no sons. Let not the name of our father be
blotted out of the midst of his people, because he has no son give us an
inheritance in the midst of our father's brethren.
27:4 And Moses brought their case before the Lord.
27:5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
27:6 The daughters of Salpaad have spoken rightly: thou shalt surely give
them a possession of inheritance in the midst of their father's brethren,
and thou shalt assign their father's inheritance to them.
27:7 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying,
27:8 If a man die, and have no son, ye shall assign his inheritance to his
daughter.
27:9 And if he have no daughter, ye shall give his inheritance to his
brother.
27:10 And if he have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance to his
father's brother.
27:11 And if there be no brethren of his father, ye shall give the
inheritance to his nearest relation of his tribe, to inherit his
possessions; and this shall be to the children of Israel an ordinance of
judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses.
27:12 And the Lord said to Moses, Go up to the mountain that is in the
country beyond Jordan, this mount Nabau, and behold the land Chanaan, which
I give to the sons of Israel for a possession.
27:13 And thou shalt see it, and thou also shalt be added to thy people, as
Aaron thy brother was added [to them] in mount Or:
27:14 because ye transgressed my commandment in the wilderness of Sin, when
the congregation resisted [and refused] to sanctify me; ye sanctified me not
at the water before them. This is the water of Strife in Cades in the
wilderness of Sin.
27:15 And Moses said to the Lord,
27:16 Let the Lord God of spirits and of all flesh look out for a man over
this congregation,
27:17 who shall go out before them, and who shall come in before them, and
who shall lead them out, and who shall bring them in; so the congregation of
the Lord shall not be as sheep without a shepherd.
27:18 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Take to thyself Joshua the son of
Naue, a man who has the Spirit in him, and thou shalt lay thy hands upon
him.
27:19 And thou shalt set him before Eleazar the priest, and thou shalt give
hi a charge before all the congregation, and thou shalt give a charge
concerning him before them.
27:20 And thou shalt put of thy glory upon him, that the children of Israel
may hearken to him.
27:21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, and they shall ask of
him before the Lord the judgment of the Urim: they shall go forth at his
word, and at his word they shall come in, he and the children of Israel with
one accord, and all the congregation.
27:22 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set
him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation.
27:23 And he laid his hands on him, and appointed him as the Lord ordered
Moses. |
27:1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad,
the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, 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.
27:2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before
the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, saying,
27:3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of
them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of
Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
27:4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family,
because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the
brethren of our father.
27:5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
27:6 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27:7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a
possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt
cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
27:8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die,
and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his
daughter.
27:9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his
brethren.
27:10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto
his father's brethren.
27:11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance
unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it:
and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the
LORD commanded Moses.
27:12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and
see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
27:13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy
people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
27:14 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the
strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes:
that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
27:15 And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
27:16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the
congregation,
27:17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and
which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation
of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
27:18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man
in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
27:19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
27:20 And thou shalt put some of thine honor upon him, that all the
congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
27:21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel
for him after the judgment of 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.
27:22 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set
him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
27:23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD
commanded by the hand of Moses. |
