27:1

The Inheritance of Daughters and the Succession of Yahushua

Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manashah, of the families of Manashah the son of Yusaph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Nuach, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
27:2
And they stood before Mushah, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
27:3
"Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons."
27:4
"Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father."
27:5
And Mushah brought their cause before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
27:6

The Celestial Decree of Inheritance

And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 spake unto Mushah, saying,
27:7
"The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them."
27:8
"And thou shalt speak unto the children of Yashar'al, saying, 'If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.'
27:9
"'And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.'
27:10
"'And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.'
27:11
"'And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Yashar'al a statute of judgment, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded Mushah.'
27:12

The Command to Ascend Mount Abarim

And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said unto Mushah, "Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Yashar'al."
27:13
"And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aharon thy brother was gathered."
27:14
"For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin."
27:15

The Petition for a Shepherd

And Mushah spake unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, saying,
27:16
"Let 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, the Alahiym of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,"
27:17
"Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 be not as sheep which have no shepherd."
27:18

The Mantle Passes to Yahushua

And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said unto Mushah, "Take thee Yahushua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit (Ruach), and lay thine hand upon him;"
27:19
"And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight."
27:20
"And thou shalt put some of thine honor upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Yashar'al may be obedient."
27:21
"And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Yashar'al with him, even all the congregation."
27:22
And Mushah did as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded him: and he took Yahushua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
27:23
And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded by the hand of Mushah.
