A Law of
Inheritance
1 Then 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, came near; and these are
the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah and Hoglah and Milcah and Tirzah.
2 They stood before Moses and before Eleazar
the priest and before the leaders and all the congregation, at the doorway
of the tent of meeting, saying,
3 "Our father died in the wilderness, yet he
was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together
against the LORD in the company of Korah; but
he died in his own sin, and he had no sons.
4 "Why should the name of our father be withdrawn
from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession among
our father's brothers."
5 So Moses brought their case before the LORD.
6 Then the LORD
spoke to Moses, saying,
7 "The daughters of Zelophehad are right in their
statements. You shall surely give them a hereditary possession among
their father's brothers, and you shall transfer the inheritance of their
father to them.
8 "Further, you shall speak to the sons of Israel,
saying, 'If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance
to his daughter.
9 'If he has no daughter, then you shall give
his inheritance to his brothers.
10 'If he has no brothers, then you shall give
his inheritance to his father's brothers.
11 'If his father has no brothers, then you shall
give his inheritance to his nearest relative in his own family, and
he shall possess it; and it shall be a statutory ordinance to the sons
of Israel, just as the LORD commanded Moses.' "
12 Then the LORD
said to Moses, "Go up to this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which
I have given to the sons of Israel.
13 "When you have seen it, you too will be gathered
to your people, as Aaron your brother was;
14 for in the wilderness of Zin, during the strife
of the congregation, you rebelled against My command to treat Me as
holy before their eyes at the water." (These are the waters of Meribah
of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
Joshua to
Succeed Moses
15 Then Moses spoke to the LORD,
saying,
16 "May the LORD, the
God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
17 who will go out and come in before them, and
who will lead them out and bring them in, so that the congregation of
the LORD will not be like sheep which have no
shepherd."
18 So the LORD said to
Moses, "Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and
lay your hand on him;
19 and have him stand before Eleazar the priest
and before all the congregation, and commission him in their sight.
20 "You shall put some of your authority on him,
in order that all the congregation of the sons of Israel may obey him.
21 "Moreover, he shall stand before Eleazar the
priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before
the LORD. At his command they shall go out and
at his command they shall come in, both he and the sons of Israel
with him, even all the congregation."
22 Moses did just as the LORD
commanded him; and he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest
and before all the congregation.
23 Then he laid his hands on him and commissioned
him, just as the LORD had spoken through Moses.

Laws for
Offerings
1 Then the LORD spoke
to Moses, saying,
2 "Command the sons of Israel and say to them,
'You shall be careful to present My offering, My food for My offerings
by fire, of a soothing aroma to Me, at their appointed time.'
3 "You shall say to them, 'This is the offering
by fire which you shall offer to the LORD: two
male lambs one year old without defect as a continual burnt offering
every day.
4 'You shall offer the one lamb in the morning
and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight;
5 also a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for
a grain offering, mixed with a fourth of a hin of beaten oil.
6 'It is a continual burnt offering which was
ordained in Mount Sinai as a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to
the LORD.
7 'Then the drink offering with it shall be
a fourth of a hin for each lamb, in the holy place you shall pour out
a drink offering of strong drink to the LORD.
8 'The other lamb you shall offer at twilight;
as the grain offering of the morning and as its drink offering, you
shall offer it, an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the LORD.
9 'Then on the sabbath day two male lambs
one year old without defect, and two-tenths of an ephah of fine
flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and its drink offering:
10 'This is the burnt offering of every
sabbath in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.
11 'Then at the beginning of each of your
months you shall present a burnt offering to the LORD:
two bulls and one ram, seven male lambs one year old without defect;
12 and three-tenths of an ephah
of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, for each bull; and
two-tenths of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, for the
one ram;
13 and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour
mixed with oil for a grain offering for each lamb, for a burnt offering
of a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the LORD.
14 'Their drink offerings shall be half a hin
of wine for a bull and a third of a hin for the ram and a fourth of
a hin for a lamb; this is the burnt offering of each month throughout
the months of the year.
15 'And one male goat for a sin offering to the
LORD; it shall be offered with its drink offering
in addition to the continual burnt offering.
16 'Then on the fourteenth day of the
first month shall be the LORD'S
Passover.
17 'On the fifteenth day of this month shall
be a feast, unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days.
18 'On the first day shall be a holy convocation;
you shall do no laborious work.
19 'You shall present an offering by fire, a
burnt offering to the LORD: two bulls and one
ram and seven male lambs one year old, having them without defect.
20 'For their grain offering, you shall offer
fine flour mixed with oil: three-tenths of an ephah for a bull
and two-tenths for the ram.
21 'A tenth of an ephah you shall offer
for each of the seven lambs;
22 and one male goat for a sin offering to make
atonement for you.
23 'You shall present these besides the burnt
offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.
24 'After this manner you shall present daily,
for seven days, the food of the offering by fire, of a soothing aroma
to the LORD; it shall be presented with its drink
offering in addition to the continual burnt offering.
25 'On the seventh day you shall have a holy
convocation; you shall do no laborious work.
26 'Also on the day of the first fruits,
when you present a new grain offering to the LORD
in your Feast of Weeks, you shall have a holy convocation; you
shall do no laborious work.
27 'You shall offer a burnt offering for a soothing
aroma to the LORD: two young bulls, one ram,
seven male lambs one year old;
28 and their grain offering, fine flour mixed
with oil: three-tenths of an ephah for each bull, two-tenths
for the one ram,
29 a tenth for each of the seven lambs;
30 also one male goat to make atonement
for you.
31 'Besides the continual burnt offering and
its grain offering, you shall present them with their drink offerings.
They shall be without defect.
