Numbers 27

Gen Z: Numbers 27

1So the squad of Zelophehad's daughters rolled up, he was from the fam of Manasseh, and their names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. Vibes.

2They pulled up on Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders at the tabernacle, like, "Yo."

3Our dad passed in the wild, not with the crew that went against the Lord with Korah; he just did his own thing and had no sons. No cap.

4Why should our dad's name get ghosted in the fam just 'cause he had no son? We want our spot in the fam, fr.

5Moses took their case to the Lord, like, "What’s good?"

6And the Lord hit up Moses, saying,

7The daughters of Zelophehad are spitting facts: give them their inheritance among their dad's crew; let it pass to them. Lit.

8Tell the Israelites, if a dude dies with no son, his inheritance goes to his daughter. Periodt.

9If he has no daughter, then the inheritance goes to his bros.

10If no bros, then it goes to his dad's bros.

11If his dad has no bros, then the inheritance goes to the closest fam member, and he’ll own it: this is a law for Israel, just like the Lord told Moses.

12The Lord told Moses, "Climb this mountain Abarim and peep the land I'm giving to Israel."

13Once you see it, you’ll join your people, just like Aaron did.

14You rebelled against my orders in Zin's desert, causing drama in the crew, and didn’t show me love at the water before their eyes: that water is Meribah in Kadesh in Zin's wilderness.

15Moses was like, "Yo, Lord,"

16"Let the Lord, the God of all spirits, pick a leader for the crew,"

17"Someone who can lead them in and out; don’t let them be like sheep without a shepherd."

18The Lord said to Moses, "Get Joshua, son of Nun, he’s got the spirit; lay your hands on him."

19Bring him in front of Eleazar the priest and all the crew; give him a mission in their sight.

20Put some of your honor on him so everyone stays obedient.

21He’ll stand before Eleazar, who’ll ask for guidance from the Lord; at his word, they’ll go out and come in, him and the whole crew.

22Moses did what the Lord said: he took Joshua, set him before Eleazar and the whole crew.

23He laid hands on him and gave him a mission, just like the Lord told Moses to do.

KJV: Numbers 27

1Then 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.

2And 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,

3Our 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.

4Why 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.

5And Moses brought their cause before the Lord.

6And the Lord 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.

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.

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 of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses.

12And 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.

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

14For 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.

15And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying,

16Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,

17Which 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.

18And 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;

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

20And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.

21And 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.

22And Moses did as the Lord 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 the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.
