Numbers 27
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
A Case of Daughters’ Inheritance
27 The daughters of Zelophehad approached; Zelophehad was the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh from the clans of Manasseh, the son of Joseph. These were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 2 They stood before Moses, the priest Eleazar, the leaders, and the entire community at the entrance to the tent of meeting and said, 3 ‘Our father died in the wilderness, but he was not among Korah’s followers, who gathered together against the Lord.(A) Instead, he died because of his own sin, and he had no sons. 4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from his clan? Since he had no son, give us property among our father’s brothers.’
5 Moses brought their case before the Lord, 6 and the Lord answered him, 7 ‘What Zelophehad’s daughters say is correct. You are to give them hereditary property among their father’s brothers and transfer their father’s inheritance to them.(B) 8 Tell the Israelites: When a man dies without having a son, transfer his inheritance to his daughter. 9 If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers. 10 If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers. 11 If his father has no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative of his clan, and he will take possession of it. This is to be a statutory ordinance for the Israelites as the Lord commanded Moses.’
Joshua Commissioned to Succeed Moses
12 Then the Lord said to Moses,(C) ‘Go up this mountain of the Abarim range[a] and see the land that I have given the Israelites. 13 After you have seen it, you will also be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was.(D) 14 When the community quarrelled in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you rebelled against my command to demonstrate my holiness in their sight at the waters.’ Those were the Waters of Meribah-kadesh[b] in the Wilderness of Zin.(E)
15 So Moses appealed to the Lord, 16 ‘May the Lord, the God who gives breath to all,[c](F) appoint a man over the community 17 who will go out before them and come back in before them,(G) and who will bring them out and bring them in, so that the Lord’s community won’t be like sheep without a shepherd.’(H)
18 The Lord replied to Moses, ‘Take Joshua son of Nun, a man who has the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.(I) 19 Make him stand before the priest Eleazar and the whole community, and commission(J) him in their sight. 20 Confer some of your authority on him so that the entire Israelite community will obey him. 21 He will stand before the priest Eleazar who will consult the Lord for him with the decision of the Urim.(K) He and all the Israelites with him, even the entire community, will go out and come back in at his command.’
22 Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua, made him stand before the priest Eleazar and the entire community, 23 laid his hands on him, and commissioned him, as the Lord had spoken through Moses.
Numbers 27
King James Version
27 Then came 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: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
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.
5 And Moses brought their cause before the Lord.
6 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.
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 Israel a statute of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses.
12 And the Lord said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
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.
15 And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying,
16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
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 the Lord be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
18 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
20 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the Lord: at his word shall they 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 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang mga Anak na Babae ni Zelofehad
27 Si Zelofehad ay may mga anak na babae na sina Mahlah, Noe, Hogla, Milca at Tirza. Si Zelofehad ay anak ni Hefer at apo ni Gilead na anak ni Makir at apo ni Manase. Si Manase ay anak ni Jose. 2 Ngayon, nagpunta ang mga babaeng ito sa pintuan ng Toldang Tipanan at tumayo sa harapan nina Moises, Eleazar, ng mga pinuno at ng buong kapulungan ng Israel. Sinabi ng mga babae, 3 “Namatay ang aming ama roon sa ilang na walang anak na lalaki. Pero namatay siya hindi dahil sa tagasunod siya ni Kora na nagrebelde sa Panginoon, kundi dahil sa sarili niyang kasalanan. 4 Dahil lang po ba sa walang anak na lalaki ang aming ama, mawawala na ang kanyang pangalan sa sambahayan ng Israel? Bigyan din ninyo kami ng lupa tulad ng natanggap ng aming mga kamag-anak.”
5 Kaya sinabi ni Moises sa Panginoon ang kanilang hinihingi. 6 Sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, 7 “Tama ang sinabi ng mga anak na babae ni Zelofehad. Kailangang bigyan mo sila ng lupa kasama ng mga kamag-anak ng kanilang ama. Ibigay sa kanila ang lupa na dapat sana ay sa kanilang ama.
8 “At sabihin mo sa mga Israelita na kung mamatay ang isang tao na hindi nagkaanak ng lalaki, kailangang ibigay sa kanyang anak na babae ang kanyang lupa. 9 At kung wala siyang anak na babae, ibigay sa kanyang kapatid na lalaki. 10 At kung wala siyang kapatid na lalaki, ibigay ang kanyang lupa sa kapatid na lalaki ng kanyang ama. 11 Kung walang kapatid na lalaki ang kanyang ama, ibigay ang kanyang lupa sa pinakamalapit niyang kamag-anak at ang kanyang kamag-anak ang magmamana ng lupa. Itoʼy susundin ng mga Israelita bilang isang legal na kautusang dapat sundin, ayon sa iniutos ko sa iyo, Moises.”
Pinili si Josue Bilang Kapalit ni Moises(A)
12 Pagkatapos, sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, “Umakyat ka sa kabundukan ng Abarim at tingnan mo roon ang lupaing ibinigay ko sa mga Israelita. 13 Pagkatapos mong makita ito, sasama ka na sa piling ng mga yumao mong ninuno, tulad ng kapatid mong si Aaron. 14 Dahil noong nagrebelde ang mga Israelita sa akin doon sa bukal ng ilang ng Zin, sinuway ninyo ni Aaron ang aking utos na ipakita ang aking kabanalan sa mga mamamayan.” (Ang bukal na ito ay ang Meriba na nasa Kadesh sa ilang ng Zin.) 15 Sinabi ni Moises sa Panginoon, 16 “O Panginoon, Dios na pinanggagalingan ng buhay ng lahat ng tao, pumili po sana kayo ng isang tao na mamumuno sa mga mamamayang ito 17 at mangunguna sa kanila sa labanan, upang ang inyong mga mamamayan ay hindi maging tulad ng mga tupang walang tagapagbantay.”
18 Kaya sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, “Ipatawag si Josue na anak ni Nun, na puspos ng Espiritu, at ipatong mo ang iyong kamay sa kanyang ulo. 19 Patayuin siya sa harapan ng paring si Eleazar at ng buong kapulungan, at ipaalam mo sa kanila na pinili mo siya para pumalit sa iyo. 20 Ibigay mo sa kanya ang iba mong kapangyarihan upang sundin siya ng buong mamamayan ng Israel. 21 Kay Eleazar niya malalaman ang aking pasya sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ni Eleazar ng ‘Urim’[a] sa aking presensya. Sa pamamagitan nito, masusubaybayan ni Eleazar si Josue at ang lahat ng mga Israelita sa kanilang gagawin.”
22 Kaya ginawa ni Moises ang iniutos sa kanya ng Panginoon. Ipinatawag niya si Josue at pinatayo sa harapan ng paring si Eleazar at ng buong kapulungan. 23 At ayon sa iniutos sa kanya ng Panginoon, ipinatong niya ang kanyang kamay kay Josue at ipinahayag na si Josue ang papalit sa kanya.

Numbers 27
New International Version
Zelophehad’s Daughters(A)
27 The daughters of Zelophehad(B) son of Hepher,(C) the son of Gilead,(D) the son of Makir,(E) the son of Manasseh, belonged to the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. The names of the daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirzah. They came forward 2 and stood before Moses,(F) Eleazar the priest, the leaders(G) and the whole assembly at the entrance to the tent of meeting(H) and said, 3 “Our father died in the wilderness.(I) He was not among Korah’s followers, who banded together against the Lord,(J) but he died for his own sin and left no sons.(K) 4 Why should our father’s name disappear from his clan because he had no son? Give us property among our father’s relatives.”
5 So Moses brought their case(L) before the Lord,(M) 6 and the Lord said to him, 7 “What Zelophehad’s daughters are saying is right. You must certainly give them property as an inheritance(N) among their father’s relatives and give their father’s inheritance to them.(O)
8 “Say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, give his inheritance to his daughter. 9 If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers. 10 If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers. 11 If his father had no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan, that he may possess it. This is to have the force of law(P) for the Israelites, as the Lord commanded Moses.’”
Joshua to Succeed Moses
12 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go up this mountain(Q) in the Abarim Range(R) and see the land(S) I have given the Israelites.(T) 13 After you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people,(U) as your brother Aaron(V) was, 14 for when the community rebelled at the waters in the Desert of Zin,(W) both of you disobeyed my command to honor me as holy(X) before their eyes.” (These were the waters of Meribah(Y) Kadesh, in the Desert of Zin.)
15 Moses said to the Lord, 16 “May the Lord, the God who gives breath to all living things,(Z) appoint someone over this community 17 to go out and come in before them, one who will lead them out and bring them in, so the Lord’s people will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”(AA)
18 So the Lord said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit of leadership,[a](AB) and lay your hand on him.(AC) 19 Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the entire assembly and commission him(AD) in their presence.(AE) 20 Give him some of your authority so the whole Israelite community will obey him.(AF) 21 He is to stand before Eleazar the priest, who will obtain decisions for him by inquiring(AG) of the Urim(AH) before the Lord. At his command he and the entire community of the Israelites will go out, and at his command they will come in.”
22 Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua and had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole assembly. 23 Then he laid his hands on him and commissioned him,(AI) as the Lord instructed through Moses.
