Numbers 27:6-14 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

6. And Yahweh said to Moses, saying,

7. “The statements of the daughters of Zelophehad are right. You must surely give them the property of an inheritance in the midst of their father’s brothers, and you must transfer the inheritance of their father to them.

8. And you must speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘If a man dies and has no son, you must transfer his inheritance to his daughter.

9. And if he has no daughter, you must give his inheritance to his brothers.

10. If he has no brothers, then you must give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.

11. If his father has no brothers, then you must give his inheritance to his nearest relative from his own clan, and he will take possession of it. It will be as a decree of stipulation for the Israelites, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.’ ”

12. Yahweh said to Moses, “Go up to this mountain of Abarim, and see the land that I have given to the Israelites.

13. When you see it, you will be gathered to your people, just as Aaron your brother was gathered,

14. because you rebelled against my word in the desert of Zin when the community quarreled regarding my holiness at the waters.” (These are the waters of Meribah-Kadesh in the desert of Zin.)
