26 And so, after the plague, the LORD spoke to Moses and to Eleazar, the son of Aaron the Priest, saying,
2 “Count all the Congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and above, throughout their father’s houses, all that go forth to war in Israel.”
3 So Moses and Eleazar the Priest spoke to them in the plain of Moab, by Jordan, near Jericho, saying,

52 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
53 “To these the land shall be divided for an inheritance, according to the number of names.
54 “To the many you shall give more inheritance, and to the few you shall give less inheritance. Everyone shall be given his inheritance according to his number.
55 “Notwithstanding, the land shall be divided by lot. They shall inherit according to the names of the tribes of their fathers.
56 “According to the lot shall its possession be divided between many and few.”
57 These also are the numbers of the Levites, after their families: Gershon (of whom came the family of the Gershonites), Kohath (of whom came the family of the Kohathites), Merari (of whom came the family of the Merarites).

59 And Amram’s wife was called Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt. And she bore to Amram, Aaron and Moses and Miriam their sister.
60 And to Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
61 And Nadab and Abihu died, because they offered strange fire before the LORD.
62 And their numbers were twenty-three thousand, all males from a month old and above (for they were not numbered among the children of Israel because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel).
63 These are the numbers of Moses and Eleazar the Priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plain of Moab, near Jordan, toward Jericho.
64 And among these there was not a man whom Moses and Aaron the Priest had numbered among the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.
65 For the LORD said to them, “They shall die in the wilderness.” So, there was not a man left of them, except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun.
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 family of Manasseh, the son of Joseph (and the names of his daughters were these: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah)
2 and stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the Priest, and before the Princes, and all the assembly at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying,
3 “Our father died in the wilderness. And he was not among the assembly of those who were assembled against the LORD in the company of Korah, but died in his sin and had no sons.
4 “Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family because he has no son? Give us a possession among the brothers of our father.”
5 Then Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
6 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
7 “The daughters of Zelophehad speak rightly. You shall give them a possession to inherit among their father’s brothers and shall turn the inheritance of their father to them.
8 “Also, you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you shall turn his inheritance to his daughter.
9 ‘And if he has no daughter, you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
10 ‘And if he has no brothers, you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
11 ‘And if his father has no brothers, you shall give his inheritance to his next kinsman in his family. And he shall possess it. And this shall be to the children of Israel a Law of Judgment, as the LORD has commanded Moses.’”
12 Again, the LORD said to Moses, “Go up into the Mount of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
13 “And when you have seen it, you shall be gathered to your people also, as Aaron your brother was gathered.
14 “For you were disobedient to My Word in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the assembly to sanctify Me in the waters before their eyes. That is the water of Meribah in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin.”
15 Then Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,
16 “Let the LORD, God of the spirits, of all flesh, appoint a man over the Congregation,
17 “who may go out and in before them and lead them out and in, so that the Congregation of the LORD are not as sheep who have no shepherd.”
18 And the LORD said to Moses, “Take with you Joshua, the son of Nun, in whom is the Spirit. And put your hands upon him.
19 “And set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation. And give him a commission in their sight.
20 “And give him some of your glory, so that all the Congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
21 “And he shall stand before Eleazar the Priest, who shall ask counsel for him by the judgment of Urim, before the LORD. At his word they shall go out. And at his word they shall come in, he and all the children of Israel with him, and all the Congregation.”
22 So Moses did as the LORD had commanded him. And he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the Priest, and before all the Congregation.
23 Then he put his hands upon him and gave him a commission, as the LORD had spoken by the hand of Moses.
