Numbers 25:10–30:1

10 And YAHUVEH spoke to Moses, saying,
11 Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned My wrath away from the sons of Israel while he was zealous for My sake among them, so that I did not consume the sons of Israel in My jealousy.
12 Therefore say, Behold, I give to him My covenant of peace.
13 And it shall be to him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was zealous for his ELOHIM, and atoned for the sons of Israel.
14 And the name of the man of Israel who was smitten, who was struck with the woman of Midian, was Zimri, the son of Salu, ruler of a father’s house of the Simeonites.
15 And the name of the woman who was struck, the woman of Midian, was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a father’s house in Midian.
16 And YAHUVEH spoke to Moses, saying,
17 Vex the Midianites, and you shall strike them;
18 for they are vexers to you, because of the wiles with which they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi the daughter of a ruler of Midian, their sister, who was struck in the day of the plague because of the matter of Peor.

*~Numbers Chapter 27 ~*


1 And the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the SON OF YAHUVEHasseh, of the family of Manasseh, the son of Joseph came. And these are his daughters’ names: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 And they stood before Moses and Eleazar the priest, and before the rulers and all the congregation at the door of the tent of meeting, saying,
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company who met together against YAHUVEH 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 YAHUVEH.
6 And YAHUVEH 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 YAHUVEH has commanded Moses.
12 And YAHUVEH 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 YAHUVEH, saying,
16 Let YAHUVEH, 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 YAHUVEH may not be as sheep to whom there is no shepherd.
18 And YAHUVEH 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 YAHUVEH. 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 YAHUVEH commanded 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 YAHUVEH commanded by the hand of Moses.

*~Numbers Chapter 28 ~*
