The Daughters of Zelophehad
(Numbers 36:1–13)

1And there will come near the daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, for the families of Manesseh, son of Joseph: and these the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah. 2And they will stand before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the chiefs, and all the assembly at the door of the tent of appointment, saying, 3Our father died in the desert, and he was not in the midst of the assembly of them being gathered together against Jehovah, in the assembly of Korah; for he died in his sin, and there were no sons to him. 4Wherefore shall the name of our father be taken away from the midst of his family because there is not to him a son? Thou shalt give to us a possession in the midst of the brethren of our father. 5And Moses will bring near their judgment before Jehovah.

6And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying. 7The daughters of Zelophehad spake rightly: giving, thou shalt give to them the possession of an inheritance in the midst of the brethren of their father, and cause the inheritance of their father to pass over to them. 8And to the sons of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, A man when he shall die, and no son to him, and cause ye his inheritance to pass to his daughter. 9And if no daughter to him, give his inheritance to his brethren. 10And if no brethren to him, give ye his inheritance to the brethren of his father. 11And if no brethren to his father, give his inheritance to his remainder being near to him from his family; and he shall possess it, and it shall be to the sons of Israel for a law of judgment, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

Moses Requests a Successor
(Deuteronomy 3:23–29)

12And Jehovah will say to Moses, Come up to this mountain of the regions beyond, and see the land which I gave to the sons of Israel. 13And thou sawest it, and wert gathered to thy people, thou also, as Aaron thy brother was gathered. 14As ye rebelled against my mouth in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the assembly to consecrate me at the waters before their eyes, these the Waters of Strife, of Kadish of the desert of Zin.

15And Moses will speak to Jehovah, saying, 16Will Jehovah, the God of the spirits to all flesh, appoint a man over the assembly, 17Who will go out before them, and who will come in before them, and who shall bring them out, and who shall bring them in; and the assembly of Jehovah shall not be as sheep to whom not a shepherd to them.

Joshua to Succeed Moses
(Deuteronomy 31:1–8)

18And Jehovah will say to Moses, Take to thee Joshua, son of Nun, a man in whom the spirit in him, and place thy hand upon him; 19And make him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the assembly: and command him before their eyes. 20And give from thy majesty upon him, so that all the assembly of the sons of Israel shall hear him. 21And before Eleazar the priest, he shall stand, and he asked for him in the judgment of the Lights before Jehovah: at his mouth they shall go out, and at his mouth they shall come in, he and all the sons of Israel with him, and all the assembly. 22And Moses will do as Jehovah commanded him; and he will take Joshua and will make him stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the assembly. 23And he will place his hands upon him and command him as Jehovah spake by the hand of Moses.
