1The daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, belonged to the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. The names of the daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah. They approached2the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders and the whole assembly, and said,3"Our father died in the desert. He was not among Korah's followers, who banded together against the LORD, but he died for his own sin and left no sons.4Why should our father's name disappear from his clan because he had no son? Give us property among our father's relatives."5So Moses brought their case before the LORD6and the LORD said to him,7"What Zelophehad's daughters are saying is right. You must certainly give them property as an inheritance among their father's relatives and turn their father's inheritance over to them.8"Say to the Israelites, 'If a man dies and leaves no son, turn his inheritance over to his daughter.9If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers.10If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father's brothers.11If his father had no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan, that he may possess it. This is to be a legal requirement for the Israelites, as the LORD commanded Moses.'"12Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go up this mountain in the Abarim range and see the land I have given the Israelites.13After you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was,14for when the community rebelled at the waters in the Desert of Zin, both of you disobeyed my command to honor me as holy before their eyes." (These were the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Desert of Zin.)15Moses said to the LORD,16"May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all mankind, appoint a man over this community17to 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."18So the LORD said to Moses, "Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay your hand on him.19Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the entire assembly and commission him in their presence.20Give him some of your authority so the whole Israelite community will obey him.21He is to stand before Eleazar the priest, who will obtain decisions for him by inquiring of the Urim 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."22Moses did as the LORD commanded him. He took Joshua and had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole assembly.23Then he laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD instructed through Moses.
1The LORD said to Moses,2"Give this command to the Israelites and say to them: 'See that you present to me at the appointed time the food for my offerings made by fire, as an aroma pleasing to me.'3Say to them: 'This is the offering made by fire that you are to present to the LORD: two lambs a year old without defect, as a regular burnt offering each day.4Prepare one lamb in the morning and the other at twilight,5together with a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a quarter of a hin of oil from pressed olives.6This is the regular burnt offering instituted at Mount Sinai as a pleasing aroma, an offering made to the LORD by fire.7The accompanying drink offering is to be a quarter of a hin of fermented drink with each lamb. Pour out the drink offering to the LORD at the sanctuary.8Prepare the second lamb at twilight, along with the same kind of grain offering and drink offering that you prepare in the morning. This is an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.9"'On the Sabbath day, make an offering of two lambs a year old without defect, together with its drink offering and a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil.10This is the burnt offering for every Sabbath, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.11"'On the first of every month, present to the LORD a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram and seven male lambs a year old, all without defect.12With each bull there is to be a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil; with the ram, a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil;13and with each lamb, a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil. This is for a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, an offering made to the LORD by fire.14With each bull there is to be a drink offering of half a hin of wine; with the ram, a third of a hin; and with each lamb, a quarter of a hin. This is the monthly burnt offering to be made at each new moon during the year.15Besides the regular burnt offering with its drink offering, one male goat is to be presented to the LORD as a sin offering.16"'On the fourteenth day of the first month the LORD's Passover is to be held.17On the fifteenth day of this month there is to be a festival; for seven days eat bread made without yeast.18On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.19Present to the LORD an offering made by fire, a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram and seven male lambs a year old, all without defect.20With each bull prepare a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil; with the ram, two-tenths;21and with each of the seven lambs, one-tenth.22Include one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for you.23Prepare these in addition to the regular morning burnt offering.24In this way prepare the food for the offering made by fire every day for seven days as an aroma pleasing to the LORD; it is to be prepared in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.25On the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.26"'On the day of firstfruits, when you present to the LORD an offering of new grain during the Feast of Weeks, hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.27Present a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram and seven male lambs a year old as an aroma pleasing to the LORD.28With each bull there is to be a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil; with the ram, two-tenths;29and with each of the seven lambs, one-tenth.30Include one male goat to make atonement for you.31Prepare these together with their drink offerings, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its grain offering. Be sure the animals are without defect.
