THEN came the daughters of Tselophchad, the son of Chepher, the son of Gil'ad, the son of Makiyr, the son of Menashsheh, of the families of Menashsheh the son of Yoceph: and these are the names of his daughters; Machlah, No'ah, and Choglah, and Milkah, and Tirtsah.
And they stood before Mosheh, and before El`azar the priest, and before the princes and all the assembly, by the door of the Tabernacle of the assembly, saying,
Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against Yahuah in the company of Qorach; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he has no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.
And Mosheh brought their cause before Yahuah.
And Yahuah spoke unto Mosheh, saying,
The daughters of Tselophchad speak right: you shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
And you shall speak unto the children of Yashar'el, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.
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 Yashar'el a statute of judgment, as Yahuah commanded Mosheh.
And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, Get you up into this Mount Avariym, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Yashar'el.
And when you have seen it, you also shall be gathered unto your people, as Aharon your brother was gathered.
For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Tsin, in the strife of the assembly, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meriyvah in Qadesh in the wilderness of Tsin.
And Mosheh spoke unto El-Yahuah, saying,
Let Yahuah, the Elohai of the ruachoth of all flesh, set a man over the assembly,
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 assembly of Yahuah be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, Take Yahusha the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Ruach, and lay your hand upon him;
And set him before El`azar the priest, and before all the assembly; and give him a charge in their sight.
And you shall put some of your honor upon him, that all the assembly of the children of Yashar'el may be obedient.
And he shall stand before El`azar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Uriym before Yahuah: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Yashar'el with him, even all the assembly.
And Mosheh did as Yahuah commanded him: and he took Yahusha, and set him before El`azar the priest, and before all the assembly:
And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as Yahuah commanded by the hand of Mosheh.
