1Zelophehad was from the Manasseh tribe, and he had five daughters, whose names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
2One day his daughters went to the sacred tent, where they met with Moses, Eleazar, and some other leaders of Israel, as well as a large crowd of Israelites. The young women said:
3You know that our father died in the desert. But it was for something he did wrong, not for joining with Korah in rebelling against the Lord.
Our father left no sons
4to carry on his family name. But why should his name die out for that reason? Give us some land like the rest of his relatives in our clan, so our father's name can live on.
5Moses asked the Lord what should be done,
6and the Lord answered:
7 just like your brother Aaron,
14because both of you disobeyed me at Meribah near the town of Kadesh in the Zin Desert. When the Israelites insulted me there, you didn't believe in my holy power.”
15Moses replied,
16“You are the Lord God, and you know what is in everyone's heart. So I ask you to appoint a leader for Israel.
17 what I want him to do as he leads Israel into battle.”
22Moses followed the Lord's instructions and took Joshua to Eleazar and the people,
23Dt 31.23. then he placed his hands on Joshua and appointed him Israel's leader.
