Numbers 27 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

A Law of Inheritance

Num 27:1Then drew near the daughters of Zeloph'ehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manas'seh, from the families of Manas'seh the son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

Num 27:2

Num 27:2And they stood before Moses, and before Elea'zar the priest, and before the leaders and all the congregation, at the door of the tent of meeting, saying,

Num 27:3

Num 27:3"Our father died in the wilderness; he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah, but died for his own sin; and he had no sons.

Num 27:4

Num 27:4Why should the name of our father be taken away from his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among our father's brethren."

Num 27:5

Num 27:5Moses brought their case before the LORD.

Num 27:6

Num 27:6And the LORD said to Moses,

Num 27:7

Num 27:7"The daughters of Zeloph'ehad are right; you shall give them possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.

Num 27:8

Num 27:8And you shall say to the people of Israel, 'If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.

Num 27:9

Num 27:9And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.

Num 27:10

Num 27:10And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers.

Num 27:11

Num 27:11And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it. And it shall be to the people of Israel a statute and ordinance, as the LORD commanded Moses.'"

(Deu 31:1–8 )

Num 27:12

Num 27:12The LORD said to Moses, "Go up into this mountain of Ab'arim, and see the land which I have given to the people of Israel.

Num 27:13

Num 27:13And when you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was gathered,

Num 27:14

Num 27:14because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin during the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes." (These are the waters of Mer'ibah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)

Num 27:20
