1Then 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 are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

1Then 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 forward: their names are Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

2And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the tent of meeting, saying,

2They came before Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs and all the people at the door of the Tent of meeting, and said,

2And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the tent of meeting, saying,

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

3Death overtook our father in the waste land; he was not among those who were banded together with Korah against the Lord; but death came to him in his sin; and he had no sons.

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

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

4Why is the name of our father to be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give us a heritage among our father's brothers.

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

5So Moses put their cause before the Lord.

5And Moses brought their cause before Jehovah.

6And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

6And the Lord said to Moses,

6And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

7The 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.

7What the daughters of Zelophehad say is right: certainly you are to give them a heritage among their father's brothers: and let the property which would have been their father's go to them.

7The 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.

8And 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.

8And say to the children of Israel, If a man has no son at the time of his death, let his heritage go to his daughter.

8And 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.

9And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.

9And if he has no daughter, then give his heritage to his brothers.

9And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.

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

10And if he has no brothers, then give his heritage to his father's brothers.

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

11And 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 and ordinance, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

11And if his father has no brothers, then give it to his nearest relation in the family, as his heritage: this is to be a decision made by law for the children of Israel, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

11And 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 and ordinance, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

12And Jehovah said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.

12And the Lord said to Moses, Go up into this mountain of Abarim so that you may see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

12And Jehovah said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.

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

13And when you have seen it, you will be put to rest with your people, as your brother Aaron was:

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

14because ye rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes. (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)

14Because in the waste land of Zin, when the people were angry, you and he went against my word and did not keep my name holy before their eyes, at the waters. (These are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh in the waste land of Zin.)

14because ye rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes. (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)

15And Moses spake unto Jehovah, saying,

15Then Moses said to the Lord,

15And Moses spake unto Jehovah, saying,

16Let Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,

16Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, put a man at the head of this people,

16Let Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,

17who 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 Jehovah be not as sheep which have no shepherd.

17To go out and come in before them and be their guide; so that the people of the Lord may not be like sheep without a keeper.

17who 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 Jehovah be not as sheep which have no shepherd.

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

18And the Lord said to Moses, Take Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and put your hand on him;

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

19and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

19And take him before Eleazar the priest and all the meeting of the people, and give him his orders before their eyes.

19and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

20And thou shalt put of thine honor upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.

20And put your honour on him, so that all the children of Israel may be under his authority.

20And thou shalt put of thine honor upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.

21And 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, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.

21He will take his place before Eleazar the priest, so that he may get directions from the Lord for him, with the Urim: at his word they will go out, and at his word they will come in, he and all the children of Israel.

21And 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, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.

22And Moses did as Jehovah commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:

22So Moses did as the Lord said: he took Joshua and put him before Eleazar the priest and the meeting of the people:

22And Moses did as Jehovah commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:

23and he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as Jehovah spake by Moses.

23And he put his hands on him and gave him his orders, as the Lord had said by Moses.

23and he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as Jehovah spake by Moses.
