The Book of Numbers 27

27 And the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir the son of Manasseh, of the clans of Manasseh the son of Joseph came near. And these were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah and Hoglah and Milkah and Tirzah. 2 And they stood before the face of Moses and before the face of Eleazar the priest and before the face of the leaders and all the congregation at the opening of the tent of meeting, saying, 3 “Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the midst of the congregation who assembled against Yahweh with the congregation of Korah, but he died in his sin, and there were no sons for him. 4 Why should the name of our father be withdrawn from the midst of his clan because there is no son for him? Give to us a possession in the midst of the brothers of our father.” 5 And Moses brought near their case before the face of Yahweh.

6 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 7 “The daughters of Zelophehad are speaking rightly. You shall certainly give to them the possession of an inheritance in the midst of the brothers of their father, and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass over to them. 8 And you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies and there is no son for him, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass over to his daughter. 9 And if there is no daughter for him, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. 10 And if there are no brothers for him, then you shall give his inheritance to the brothers of his father. 11 And if there are no brothers for his father, then you shall give his inheritance to his blood-relative, the nearest to him from his clan, and he shall take possession of it. And it shall be for the sons of Israel as a statute of judgment, just as Yahweh has commanded Moses.’”

12 And 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 And you shall see it and be gathered to your people, also you, just as Aaron your brother was gathered, 14 because in the wilderness of Zin, in the quarrel of the congregation, you rebelled against my mouth to regard me as holy at the waters before their eyes.” These are the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.

15 And Moses spoke to Yahweh, saying, 16 “May Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation 17 who will go out before the face of them and who will come before the face of them, and who will take them out and who will bring them in, and the congregation of Yahweh will not be like sheep that have no shepherd for them.” 18 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Take for yourself Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is a spirit, and lay your hand on him. 19 And you shall stand him before the face of Eleazar the priest and before the face of all the congregation, and you shall command him before their eyes. 20 And you shall give some of your authority on him, so that all the congregation of the sons of Israel will hear. 21 And he shall stand before the face of Eleazar the priest, and he shall ask for him by the judgment of the Urim before the face of Yahweh. In accordance with his mouth he shall go out and in accordance with his mouth he shall come in, he and all the sons of Israel with him and all the congregation.” 22 And Moses did just as Yahweh had commanded him, and he took Joshua and stood him before the face of Eleazar the priest and before the face of all the congregation, 23 and he laid his hands on him, and he commanded him, just as Yahweh had spoken by the hand of Moses.
