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.)
15. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
16. “Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the community
17. who will go out before them and will come in before them, and who will lead them out and bring them in, so the community of Yahweh will not be like a flock that does not have a shepherd.”
18. Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and place your hand on him.
19. Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and before the entire community, and commission him in their sight.
20. You will give to him from your authority so that the entire community of Israel will obey him.
