Numbers 27-28

21st Century King James Version

27 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

² And they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

³ “Our father died in the wilderness; and he was not in the company of those who gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah, but died in his own sin and had no sons.

⁴ Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.”

⁵ And Moses brought their cause before the Lord.

⁶ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

⁷ “The daughters of Zelophehad speak right. Thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren, and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.

⁸ And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, ‘If a man die and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.

⁹ And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.

¹⁰ And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father’s brethren.

¹¹ And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it. And it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses.’”

¹² And the Lord said unto Moses, “Get thee up into this Mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.

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

¹⁴ For ye rebelled against My commandment in the Desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify Me at the water before their eyes.” (That is, the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin.)

¹⁵ And Moses spoke unto the Lord, saying,

¹⁶ “Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set 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, that the congregation of the Lord be not as sheep which have no shepherd.”

¹⁸ And the Lord said unto Moses, “Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;

¹⁹ and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and give him a charge in their sight.

²⁰ And thou shalt put some of thine honor upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.

²¹ And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him by the judgment of the Urim before the Lord. At his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.”

²² And Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation.

²³ And he laid his hands upon him and gave him a charge, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.

28 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

² “Command the children of Israel and say unto them: ‘My offering and My bread for My sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savor unto Me, shall ye observe to offer unto Me in their due season.’

³ And thou shalt say unto them: ‘This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the Lord: two lambs of the first year without spot, day by day, for a continual burnt offering.

⁴ The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at evening,

⁵ and a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering mingled with a fourth part of a hin of beaten oil.

⁶ It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in Mount Sinai for a sweet savor, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord.

⁷ And the drink offering thereof shall be a fourth part of a hin for the one lamb; in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the Lord for a drink offering.

⁸ And the other lamb shalt thou offer at evening; as the meat offering of the morning and as the drink offering thereof thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.

⁹ “‘And on the Sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and twotenths part of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof.

¹⁰ This is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, besides the continual burnt offering and his drink offering.

¹¹ “‘And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord: two young bullocks and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot;

¹² and threetenths part of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one bullock; and twotenths part of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one ram;

¹³ and a separate tenth part of flour mingled with oil for a meat offering unto one lamb, for a burnt offering of a sweet savor, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord.

¹⁴ And their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine unto a bullock, and a third part of a hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of a hin unto a lamb. This is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.

¹⁵ And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the Lord shall be offered, besides the continual burnt offering and his drink offering.

¹⁶ “‘And on the fourteenth day of the first month is the Passover of the Lord.

¹⁷ And on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.

¹⁸ On the first day shall be a holy convocation. Ye shall do no manner of servile work therein,

¹⁹ but ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto the Lord: two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year. They shall be unto you without blemish.

²⁰ And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: threetenths part shall ye offer for a bullock, and twotenths part for a ram,

²¹ a separate tenth part shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the seven lambs;

²² and one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.

²³ Ye shall offer these besides the burnt offering in the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.

²⁴ In this manner ye shall offer daily throughout the seven days the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord. It shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering and his drink offering.

²⁵ And on the seventh day ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.

²⁶ “‘Also on the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering unto the Lord, after your weeks be out, ye shall have a holy convocation. Ye shall do no servile work,

²⁷ but ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savor unto the Lord: two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year,

²⁸ and their meat offering of flour mingled with oil: threetenths part unto one bullock, twotenths part unto one ram,

²⁹ a separate tenth part unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs;

³⁰ and one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you.

³¹ Ye shall offer them besides the continual burnt offering and his meat offering (they shall be unto you without blemish), and their drink offerings.
