Bamidbar 27:4-17 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

4. Why should the shem avinu be withdrawn [see Rv 3:5 OJBC] from among his Mishpakhat, because he hath no ben? Give unto us therefore achuzzah among the achei avinu.

5. And Moshe brought their mishpat before Hashem.

6. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

7. The Banot Tzelophechad speak right; thou shalt surely give them achuzzat nachalah among achei avihem; and thou shalt cause the nachalat avichen to pass over unto them.

8. And thou shalt speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, saying, If an ish die, and have no ben, then ye shall cause his nachalah to pass over unto his bat.

9. And if he have no bat, then ye shall give his nachalah unto his achim.

10. And if he have no achim, then ye shall give his nachalah unto achei aviv.

11. And if his av have no achim, then ye shall give his nachalah unto his closest relative of his Mishpakhat, and he shall possess it; and it shall be unto the Bnei Yisroel a chukkat mishpat, as Hashem commanded Moshe.

12. And Hashem said unto Moshe, Get thee up on this har haAvarim, and see HaAretz which I have given unto the Bnei Yisroel.

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

14. For ye rebelled against My command in the Midbar Tzin, in the merivat HaEdah (strife of the Assembly) to honor Me as Kodesh before their eyes at the mayim: that is, the mayim of Merivah in Kadesh in the Midbar Tzin.

15. And Moshe spoke unto Hashem, saying,

16. Let Hashem Elohei HaRuchot L'khol Basar appoint an Ish over HaEdah,

17. Which will go out before them, and which will come in before them, and which will lead them out, and which will bring them in; that the Adat Hashem be not like tzon which have no ro'eh.
