Numbers 27 — GNV
27Verse 1Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the sonne of Hepher, the sonne of Gilead, the sonne of Machir, the sonne of Manasseh, of the familie of Manasseh, the sonne of Ioseph (and the names of his daughters were these, Mahlah, Noah and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah)Verse 2And stoode before Moses, and before Eleazar the Priest, and before the Princes, and all the assemblie, at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying,Verse 3Our father dyed in the wildernes, and he was not among the assemblie of them that were assembled against the Lord in the companie of Korah, but died in his sinne, and had no sonnes.Verse 4Wherefore should the name of our father be taken away from among his familie, because he hath no sonne? giue vs a possession among the brethren of our father.Verse 5Then Moses brought their cause before the Lord.Verse 6And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,Verse 7The daughters of Zelophehad speake right: thou shalt giue them a possession to inherite among their fathers brethren, and shalt turne the inheritance of their father vnto them.Verse 8Also thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die and haue no sonne, then ye shall turne his inheritaunce vnto his daughter.Verse 9And if he haue no daughter, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his brethren.Verse 10And if he haue no brethren, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his fathers brethren.Verse 11And if his father haue no brethren, ye shall giue his inheritance vnto his next kinsman of his familie, and he shall possesse it: and this shall be vnto the children of Israel a law of iudgement, as the Lord hath commanded Moses.Verse 12Againe the Lord said vnto Moses, Go vp into this mount of Abarim, and behold ye lande which I haue giuen vnto the children of Israel.Verse 13And when thou hast seene it, thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people also, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.Verse 14For ye were disobedient vnto my worde in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the assemblie, to sanctifie me in the waters before their eyes. That is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wildernesse of Zin.Verse 15Then Moses spake vnto the Lord, saying,Verse 16Let the Lord God of the spirits of all flesh appoint a man ouer the Congregation,Verse 17Who may goe out and in before them, and leade them out and in, that the Congregation of the Lord be not as sheepe, which haue not a shepheard.Verse 18And the Lord said vnto Moses, Take thee Ioshua the sonne of Nun, in whom is the Spirite, and put thine handes vpon him,Verse 19And set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation, and giue him a charge in their sight.Verse 20And giue him of thy glory, that all the Congregation of ye children of Israel may obey.Verse 21And he shall stande before Eleazar the Priest, who shall aske counsell for him by the iudgement of Vrim before the Lord: at his worde they shall goe out, and at his worde they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him and all the Congregation.Verse 22So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him, and he tooke Ioshua, and set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation.Verse 23Then he put his handes vpon him, and gaue him a charge, as the Lord had spoken by the hand of Moses.
