CHAPTER XXVII.

1. And the daughters of Salpaad son of Opher, son of Galaad, son of Machir, of the sept of Manasse, of the sons of Joseph, and these (were) their names, Maala, and Nua, and Egla, and Melcha, and Thersahaving drawn near, 2. And having stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the rulers, and before all (the) assembly at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, say, 3. Our father

died in the wilderness, and he was not in the midst of the assemblage that rose up together against the Lord in the assemblage of Core, for because of his sin he died, and had no sons: let not the name of our father be blotted out from the midst of his sept, because he hath no son: give ye us a possession in the midst of our father's brethren. 4. And Moses brought their case before the Lord. 5. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 6. The daughters of Salpaad have spoken rightly: (as) a gift thou shalt give them a possession of inheritance in the midst of their father's brethren, and shalt invest them with the allotment of their father. 7. And thou shalt speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 8. When a man shall die, and have no son, ye shall invest his daughter with his inheritance. 9. But if he have no daughter, ye shall give the inheritance to his brother. 10. But if he have no brothers, ye shall give the inheritance to his father's brother. 11. But if he have no father's brothers, ye shall give the inheritance to his nearest relative out of his tribe, to inherit the things that (were) his: and this shall be to the sons of Israel an ordinance of judgment, as the Lord appointed Moses. 12. And the Lord said unto Moses, Go up into the mountain which (is) in the (country) beyond the Jordan, this mountain Nabau, and behold the land of Chanaan, which I give the sons of Israel in possession. 13. And thou shalt see it, and thou also shalt be added unto thy people, even as Aaron thy brother

was added in the mountain Or. 14. Because ye transgressed my word in the wilderness of Sin, in the resistance of the assembly to sanctify me, ye sanctified me not at the water before them: that is the water of contradiction in Cades in the wilderness of Sin. 15. And Moses said unto the Lord, 16. Let the Lord, the God of the spirits and of all flesh, look out a man (to be set) over this assembly, 17. Who shall go out before their face, and who shall go in before their face, and who shall lead them out, and who shall lead them in, and the Lord's assembly shall not be as sheep to whom there is not a shepherd. 18. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Take unto thyself Jesus son of Naue, a man who hath a spirit in himself, and thou shalt lay thy hands upon him. 19. And thou shalt set him before Eleazar the priest, and command him before all the assembly, and command concerning him before them. 20. And thou shalt bestow of thy glory upon him, in order that the sons of Israel may hear him. 21. And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, and they shall enquire of him the judgment of the manifestations before the Lord: at his mouth they shall go out, and at his mouth they shall go in, he, and the sons of Israel with one consent, and all the assembly. 22. And Moses did as the Lord had commanded him; and having taken Jesus, he set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the assembly, 23. And laid his hands upon him, and commended him (to them) as the Lord had appointed to Moses.
