Numbers 27-28

Darby Translation

27 Then drew near 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 were 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 the whole assembly, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying,

³ Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the band of them that banded themselves together against Jehovah in the band of Korah; but he died in his own sin, and he had no sons.

⁴ Why should the name of our father be taken away from his family, because he has no son? Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our father.

⁵ And Moses brought their cause before Jehovah.

⁶ And Jehovah spoke to 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 unto the children of Israel shalt thou speak, 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, ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.

¹⁰ And if he have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.

¹¹ And if his father have no brethren, ye shall give his inheritance to his kinsman that is nearest to him in his family, and he shall possess it; and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of right, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

¹² And Jehovah said to Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land that I have given unto the children of Israel.

¹³ And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother was gathered,

¹⁴ because ye rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, as to hallowing me in the matter of the water before their eyes. (That is the water of Meribah at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)

¹⁵ And Moses spoke to Jehovah, saying,

¹⁶ Let Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the assembly,

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 assembly of Jehovah be not as sheep that have no shepherd.

¹⁸ And Jehovah said to Moses, Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and thou shalt lay thy hand upon him;

¹⁹ and thou shalt set him before Eleazar the priest, and before the whole assembly; and give him commandment before their eyes.

²⁰ And thou shalt put of thine honour upon him, that the whole assembly of the children of Israel may obey him.

²¹ And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him, by the judgment of the Urim before Jehovah: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, he, and all the children of Israel with him, even the whole assembly.

²² And Moses did as Jehovah had commanded him; and he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before the whole assembly.

²³ And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him commandment, as Jehovah had said through Moses.

28 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

² Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, my bread for my offerings by fire of sweet odour to me, shall ye take heed to present to me at their set time.

³ And say unto them, This is the offering by fire which ye shall present to Jehovah: two yearling lambs without blemish, day by day, as a continual burnt-offering.

⁴ The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb thou shalt offer between the two evenings;

⁵ and a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for an oblation, mingled with beaten oil, a fourth part of a hin:

⁶ [it is] the continual burnt-offering which was ordained on mount Sinai for a sweet odour, an offering by fire to Jehovah.

⁷ And the drink-offering thereof shall be a fourth part of a hin for one lamb; in the sanctuary shall the drink-offering of strong drink be poured out to Jehovah.

⁸ And the second lamb thou shalt offer between the two evenings; [with the] like oblation as that of the morning, and the like drink-offering, shalt thou offer it as an offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah.

⁹ And on the sabbath day two yearling lambs without blemish, and two tenth parts of fine flour as an oblation, mingled with oil, and the drink-offering thereof:

¹⁰ it is the burnt-offering of the sabbath, for each sabbath besides the continual burnt-offering, and its drink-offering.

¹¹ And in the beginnings of your months ye shall present a burnt-offering to Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one ram, seven yearling lambs without blemish.

¹² And three tenth parts of fine flour as an oblation, mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth parts of fine flour as an oblation, mingled with oil, for the ram;

¹³ and a tenth part of fine flour mingled with oil as an oblation for each lamb: [it is] a burnt-offering of a sweet odour, an offering by fire to Jehovah.

¹⁴ And their drink-offerings: half a hin of wine for a bullock, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb. This is the monthly burnt-offering for each month throughout the months of the year.

¹⁵ And a buck of the goats shall be offered, for a sin-offering to Jehovah, besides the continual burnt-offering, and its drink-offering.

¹⁶ And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is the passover to Jehovah.

¹⁷ And on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast; seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.

¹⁸ On the first day shall be a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do;

¹⁹ and ye shall present an offering by fire, a burnt-offering to Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven yearling lambs; they shall be unto you without blemish;

²⁰ and their oblation shall be of fine flour mingled with oil: three tenth parts shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth parts for the ram;

²¹ one tenth part shalt thou offer for each lamb, of the seven lambs;

²² and a he-goat as a sin-offering, to make atonement for you.

²³ Besides the burnt-offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt-offering, shall ye offer this.

²⁴ After this manner ye shall offer daily, seven days, the bread of the offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah; it shall be offered besides the continual burnt-offering, and its drink-offering.

²⁵ And on the seventh day ye shall have a holy convocation; no manner of servile work shall ye do.

²⁶ And on the day of the first-fruits, when ye present a new oblation to Jehovah, after your weeks, ye shall have a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do.

²⁷ And ye shall present a burnt-offering for a sweet odour to Jehovah: two young bullocks, one ram, seven yearling lambs;

²⁸ and their oblation of fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for one bullock, two tenth parts for the ram,

²⁹ one tenth part for each lamb of the seven lambs;

³⁰ [and] one buck of the goats, to make atonement for you.

³¹ Ye shall offer them besides the continual burnt-offering, and its oblation (without blemish shall they be unto you), and their drink-offerings.
