1And then came the daughters of Tsalphkhad, son of Khaphar, son of Gelad, son of Makir, son of Manasheh, from the family, of Menasheh, son of Yoseph; and these are the names of his daughters: Makhla and Yaa and Khagla and Melka and Tartsa. 2And they stood before Moshe and before Eliazer the Priest and before the Princes and before all of the assembly in the door of the Time Tabernacle, and they were saying: 3“Our father died in the wilderness and was not within the assembly that rose up in front of LORD JEHOVAH in the company of Qorakh, because he died in his sins; he had no sons. 4Why is the name of our father blotted out from within his family because he has no son? Give us an inheritance among the brothers of our father.” 5And Moshe brought their case before LORD JEHOVAH.

6And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe: 7“The daughters of Tsalphkhad have spoken rightly; give to them a territory and an inheritance among the brothers of their fathers and establish to them the inheritance of their father. 8And say to the children of Israel: ‘When a man will die and he has no son, give his inheritance to his daughter. 9And if he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers. 10And if he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father's brothers. 11And if he has no father's brother, give his inheritance to one who is near to him from his family, and he shall inherit it; and it shall be for the children of Israel the law of justice, according to what LORD JEHOVAH commanded Moshe.’”

12And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe: “Go up to this mountain of the Hebrews and see the land of Canaan that I give to the children of Israel. 13And see it and be gathered also to your people as Ahron your brother was gathered. 14Because you provoked the Word of my mouth in the wilderness of Tsin in the strife of the assembly, and you did not sanctify me at the water in their sight; those are the waters of strife of Raqem in the wilderness of Tsin.”

15And Moshe spoke before LORD JEHOVAH and said: 16“Let LORD JEHOVAH, the God of the spirits of all flesh, order a man over the assembly. 17To go out before them and to enter before them and bring them out and to bring them in, that the assembly of LORD JEHOVAH will not be as sheep that have no Shepherd.”

18And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe: “Take to yourself Yeshua, son of Nun, a man who has the Spirit in him and put your hand upon him. 19And stand him before Eliazer the Priest and before all of the assembly and command him in their sight. 20And put some of your glory upon him that all of the assembly of the children of Israel shall obey him. 21And he shall stand before Eliazer the Priest and he shall be inquiring the law of petition for him before LORD JEHOVAH; by the word of his mouth he shall be going out and by the word of his mouth he shall be entering, he and all the children of Israel with him and all of the assembly.” 22And Moshe did as LORD JEHOVAH commanded him, and he took Yeshua and presented him before Eliazer the Priest and before all of the assembly. 23And he laid his hand upon him and he commanded him as LORD JEHOVAH commanded Moshe.
