Numbers 27 (WEBP)
[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. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
[2] They stood before Moses, before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the Tent of Meeting, saying,
[3] “Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against Yahweh in the company of Korah, but he died in his own sin. He had no sons.
[4] Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father.”
[5] Moses brought their cause before Yahweh.
[6] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[7] “The daughters of Zelophehad speak right. You shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brothers. You shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
[8] You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass 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 kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it. This shall be a statute and ordinance for the children of Israel, as Yahweh commanded Moses.’ ”
[12] Yahweh said to Moses, “Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
[13] When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;
[14] because in the strife of the congregation, you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, to honor me as holy at the waters before their eyes.” (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
[15] Moses spoke to Yahweh, saying,
[16] “Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
[17] who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in, that the congregation of Yahweh may not be as sheep which have no shepherd.”
[18] Yahweh said to Moses, “Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him.
[19] Set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.
[20] You shall give authority to him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
[21] He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before Yahweh. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.”
[22] Moses did as Yahweh commanded him. He took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation.
[23] He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as Yahweh spoke by Moses.

Numbers 27 (KJVS)
[1] Then came H7126 (8799) the daughters H1323 of Zelophehad H6765, the son H1121 of Hepher H2660, the son H1121 of Gilead H1568, the son H1121 of Machir H4353, the son H1121 of Manasseh H4519, of the families H4940 of Manasseh H4519 the son H1121 of Joseph H3130: and these [are] the names H8034 of his daughters H1323; Mahlah H4244, Noah H5270, and Hoglah H2295, and Milcah H4435, and Tirzah H8656.
[2] And they stood H5975 (8799) before H6440 Moses H4872, and before H6440 Eleazar H499 the priest H3548, and before H6440 the princes H5387 and all the congregation H5712, [by] the door H6607 of the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150, saying H559 (8800),
[3] Our father H1 died H4191 (8804) in the wilderness H4057, and he was not in H8432 the company H5712 of them that gathered themselves together H3259 (8737) against the LORD H3068 in the company H5712 of Korah H7141; but died H4191 (8804) in his own sin H2399, and had no sons H1121.
[4] Why should the name H8034 of our father H1 be done away H1639 (8735) from among H8432 his family H4940, because he hath no son H1121? Give H5414 (8798) unto us [therefore] a possession H272 among H8432 the brethren H251 of our father H1.
[5] And Moses H4872 brought H7126 (8686) their cause H4941 before H6440 the LORD H3068.
[6] And the LORD H3068 spake H559 (8799) unto Moses H4872, saying H559 (8800),
[7] The daughters H1323 of Zelophehad H6765 speak H1696 (8802) right H3651: thou shalt surely H5414 (8800) give H5414 (8799) them a possession H272 of an inheritance H5159 among H8432 their father’s H1 brethren H251; and thou shalt cause the inheritance H5159 of their father H1 to pass H5674 (8689) unto them.
[8] And thou shalt speak H1696 (8762) unto the children H1121 of Israel H3478, saying H559 (8800), If a man H376 die H4191 (8799), and have no son H1121, then ye shall cause his inheritance H5159 to pass H5674 (8689) unto his daughter H1323.
[9] And if he have no daughter H1323, then ye shall give H5414 (8804) his inheritance H5159 unto his brethren H251.
[10] And if he have no brethren H251, then ye shall give H5414 (8804) his inheritance H5159 unto his father’s H1 brethren H251.
[11] And if his father H1 have no brethren H251, then ye shall give H5414 (8804) his inheritance H5159 unto his kinsman H7607 that is next H7138 to him of his family H4940, and he shall possess H3423 (8804) it: and it shall be unto the children H1121 of Israel H3478 a statute H2708 of judgment H4941, as the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 (8765) Moses H4872.
[12] And the LORD H3068 said H559 (8799) unto Moses H4872, Get thee up H5927 (8798) into this mount H2022 Abarim H5682, and see H7200 (8798) the land H776 which I have given H5414 (8804) unto the children H1121 of Israel H3478.
[13] And when thou hast seen H7200 (8804) it, thou also shalt be gathered H622 (8738) unto thy people H5971, as Aaron H175 thy brother H251 was gathered H622 (8738).
[14] For ye rebelled H4784 (8804) against my commandment H6310 in the desert H4057 of Zin H6790, in the strife H4808 of the congregation H5712, to sanctify H6942 (8687) me at the water H4325 before their eyes H5869: that [is] the water H4325 of Meribah H4809 in Kadesh H6946 in the wilderness H4057 of Zin H6790.
[15] And Moses H4872 spake H1696 (8762) unto the LORD H3068, saying H559 (8800),
[16] Let the LORD H3068, the God H430 of the spirits H7307 of all flesh H1320, set H6485 (8799) a man H376 over the congregation H5712,
[17] Which may go out H3318 (8799) before H6440 them, and which may go in H935 (8799) before H6440 them, and which may lead them out H3318 (8686), and which may bring them in H935 (8686); that the congregation H5712 of the LORD H3068 be not as sheep H6629 which have no shepherd H7462 (8802).
[18] And the LORD H3068 said H559 (8799) unto Moses H4872, Take H3947 (8798) thee Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun H5126, a man H376 in whom [is] the spirit H7307, and lay H5564 (8804) thine hand H3027 upon him;
[19] And set H5975 (8689) him before H6440 Eleazar H499 the priest H3548, and before H6440 all the congregation H5712; and give him a charge H6680 (8765) in their sight H5869.
[20] And thou shalt put H5414 (8804) [some] of thine honour H1935 upon him, that all the congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 may be obedient H8085 (8799).
[21] And he shall stand H5975 (8799) before H6440 Eleazar H499 the priest H3548, who shall ask H7592 (8804) [counsel] for him after the judgment H4941 of Urim H224 before H6440 the LORD H3068: at his word H6310 shall they go out H3318 (8799), and at his word H6310 they shall come in H935 (8799), [both] he, and all the children H1121 of Israel H3478 with him, even all the congregation H5712.
[22] And Moses H4872 did H6213 (8799) as the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 (8765) him: and he took H3947 (8799) Joshua H3091, and set H5975 (8686) him before H6440 Eleazar H499 the priest H3548, and before H6440 all the congregation H5712:
[23] And he laid H5564 (8799) his hands H3027 upon him, and gave him a charge H6680 (8762), as the LORD H3068 commanded H1696 (8765) by the hand H3027 of Moses H4872.
Young’s Literal Translation
Numbers 27 (YLT)
[1] And daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh son of Joseph, draw near-and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah-
[2] and stand before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the company, at the opening of the tent of meeting, saying:
[3] ‘Our father died in the wilderness, and he-he was not in the midst of the company who were met together against Jehovah in the company of Korah, but for his own sin he died, and had no sons;
[4] why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of his family because he hath no son? give to us a possession in the midst of the brethren of our father;’
[5] and Moses bringeth near their cause before Jehovah.
[6] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
[7] ‘Rightly are the daughters of Zelophehad speaking; thou dost certainly give to them a possession of an inheritance in the midst of their father’s brethren, and hast caused to pass over the inheritance of their father to them.
[8] ‘And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When a man dieth, and hath no son, then ye have caused his inheritance to pass over to his daughter;
[9] and if he have no daughter, then ye have given his inheritance to his brethren;
[10] and if he have no brethren, then ye have given his inheritance to his father’s brethren;
[11] and if his father have no brethren, then ye have given his inheritance to his relation who is near unto him of his family, and he hath possessed it;’ and it hath been to the sons of Israel for a statute of judgment, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
[12] And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Go up unto this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel;
[13] and thou hast seen it, and thou hast been gathered unto thy people, also thou, as Aaron thy brother hath been gathered,
[14] because ye provoked My mouth in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the company-to sanctify Me at the waters before their eyes;’ they are waters of Meribah, in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin.
[15] And Moses speaketh unto Jehovah, saying,
[16] ‘Jehovah-God of the spirits of all flesh-appoint a man over the company,
[17] who goeth out before them, and who cometh in before them, and who taketh them out, and who bringeth them in, and the company of Jehovah is not as sheep which have no shepherd.’
[18] And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘Take to thee Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and thou hast laid thine hand upon him,
[19] and hast caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the company, and hast charged him before their eyes,
[20] and hast put of thine honour upon him, so that all the company of the sons of Israel do hearken.
[21] ‘And before Eleazar the priest he standeth, and he hath asked for him by the judgment of the Lights before Jehovah; at His word they go out, and at His word they come in; he, and all the sons of Israel with him, even all the company.’
[22] And Moses doth as Jehovah hath commanded him, and taketh Joshua, and causeth him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the company,
[23] and layeth his hands upon him, and chargeth him, as Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of Moses.
