63; These are those numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab, beside Jordan, near Jericho.

 

64; And among these there was not a man of those numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

3; Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company who met together against YAHWEH in the company of Korah, but he died for his own sins, and had no son.

 

4; Why is our father's name taken away from the midst of his family because there is no son to him? Give us an inheritance among our father's brothers.

 

5; And Moses brought their cause before YAHWEH.

 

6; And YAHWEH spoke to Moses, saying,

 

7; The daughters of Zelophehad speak rightly. Giving you shall give them a possession, an inheritance among their father's brothers. And you shall cause their father's inheritance to pass to them.

 

8; And you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, When a man dies, and has no son, then you shall pass on his inheritance to his daughter.

 

9; And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.

 

10; And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his possession to his father's brothers.

 

11; And if his father has no brothers then you shall give his inheritance to his nearest relative, of his family. And he shall own it, and it shall be a statute of judgment to the sons of Israel, as YAHWEH has instructed Moses.

 

12; And YAHWEH said to Moses, Get up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons of Israel.

 

13; And when you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people as your brother Aaron was gathered.

 

14; For you rebelled against My mouth in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify Me at the waters before their eyes. They were the Waters of Strife in Kadesh, in the desert of Zin.

 

15; And Moses spoke to YAHWEH, saying,

 

16; Let YAHWEH, the Elohim of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation

 

17; who may go out before them, and who may go in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in, so that the congregation of YAHWEH may not be as sheep to whom there is no shepherd.

 

18; And YAHWEH said to Moses, Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hands on him.

 

19; And cause him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation, and give him a charge before their eyes.

 

20; And you shall put from your dignity on him, so that all the congregation of the sons of Israel will listen.

 

21; And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask for him according to the judgment of the Urim before YAHWEH. At his mouth they shall go out, and at his mouth they shall come in, he and all the sons of Israel with him, even all the congregation.

 

22; And Moses did as YAHWEH instructed him. And he took Joshua and made him stand before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation.

 

23; And he laid his hands on him, and gave him a charge, even as YAHWEH instructed by the hand of Moses.

 

Chapter 28

2; instruct the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, My offering, My bread for My fire offerings, My soothing fragrance, you shall take heed to offer to Me in its appointed season.

 

3; And you shall say to them, This is the fire offering which you shall offer to YAHWEH, two yearling lambs without blemish, day by day, as a continual burnt offering.

40; And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel according to all that YAHWEH had instructed Moses.

 

Chapter 30

1; And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel, saying, This is the thing which YAHWEH has instructed:

 

2; When a man vows a vow to YAHWEH, or has sworn an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do all that has gone out of his mouth.

 

3; And when a woman vows a vow to YAHWEH, and has bound a bond in the house of her father in her youth,

 

4; and her father has heard her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father has remained silent as to her, then all her vows shall stand; and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.

 

5; But if her father has prohibited her in the day he heard, none of her vows and her bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand. And YAHWEH will forgive her because her father prohibited her.

 

6; And if she belongs to a husband, and her vows are on her, or a rash utterance on her lips with which she has bound her soul,

 

7; and her husband has heard, and in the day he heard he has remained silent as to her, then her vows shall stand, and her bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.

 

8; And if in the day her husband hears, he prohibits her, then he has broken her vow which is on her, and the rash utterance of her lips with which she has bound her soul. And YAHWEH will forgive her.

 

9; And as to the vow of a widow, or her that is divorced, all that she has bound on her soul shall be established on her.

 

10; And if she has vowed in the house of her husband, or bound a bond on her soul with an oath,

 

11; and her husband has heard, and has remained silent as to her, and he has not denied her, then all her vows shall be established, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.

 

12; And if her husband has certainly broken them in the day he heard, none of the utterance of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall stand; her husband has broken them. And YAHWEH will forgive her.

 

13; Every vow and every oath, any bond to humble a soul, her husband shall establish it, or her husband shall break it.

 

14; And if her husband is altogether silent at her from day to day, then he has established all her vows or all her bonds which are on her; he has established them; for he remained silent as to her in the day he heard.

 

15; And if he at all breaks them after he hears, then he has borne her iniquity.

 

16; These are the statutes which YAHWEH has instructed Moses between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter in her youth in the house of her father.
