06 March - Numbers 26-27

Jude Fri Dec 07, 2018 5:47 pm

My soul doth magnify my YAH, and my spirit hath rejoiced in EL my Saviour; For HE that is mighty hath done to me great things; and Holy is HIS Name. Now unto HIM who is ever present in my helpless estate; who is able to keep me from falling and to present me faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding joy, unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise EL our Saviour be honour and glory and majesty, dominion and power both now and for ever Halleluyah!

NUMBERS 26

1And it came to be, after the plague, that יהוה spoke to Mosheh and El‛azar, son of Aharon the priest, saying,

2“Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl from twenty years old and above, by their fathers’ houses, everyone going out to the army in Yisra’ĕl.”

3So Mosheh and El‛azar the priest spoke with them in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ by the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo, saying,

54“To the large one you give a larger inheritance, and to the small one you give a smaller inheritance. Each shall be given its inheritance according to their registered ones.

55“But the land is divided by lot, they inherit according to the names of the tribes of their fathers.

60And to Aharon were born Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu, El‛azar and Ithamar.

61And Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu died when they brought strange fire before יהוה.

62And their registered ones were twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and above. For they were not registered among the other children of Yisra’ĕl, because there was no inheritance given to them among the children of Yisra’ĕl.

63These are the ones registered by Mosheh and El‛azar the priest, who registered the sons of Yisra’ĕl in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ by the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo.

64But among these there was not a man of those registered by Mosheh and Aharon the priest when they registered the sons of Yisra’ĕl in the Wilderness of Sinai.

65For יהוה had said of them, “They shall certainly die in the wilderness.” And not a man was left of them, except Kalĕḇ son of Yephunneh, and Yehoshua son of Nun.

NUMBERS 27

1Then came the daughters of Tselophḥaḏ, son of Ḥĕpher, son of Gil‛aḏ, son of Maḵir, son of Menashsheh, from the clans of Menashsheh, son of Yosĕph. And these were the names of his daughters: Maḥlah, No‛ah, and Ḥog̅lah, and Milkah, and Tirtsah.

2And they stood before Mosheh, and before El‛azar the priest, and before the leaders and all the congregation, by the doorway of the Tent of Meeting, saying,

3“Our father died in the wilderness, yet he was not in the company of those who were met together against יהוה, in company with Qoraḥ, but he died in his own sin. And he had no sons.

4“Why should the name of our father be removed from among his clan because he had no son? Give us a possession among the brothers of our father.”

5Mosheh then brought their case before יהוה.

6And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

7“The daughters of Tselophḥaḏ speak what is right. You should certainly give them a possession of inheritance among their father’s brothers, and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.

8“And speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘When a man dies and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass 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 inheritance to his father’s brothers.

11‘And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan, and he shall possess it.’ ” And it shall be to the children of Yisra’ĕl a law of right-ruling, as יהוה commanded Mosheh.

12And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go up into this Mount Aḇarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Yisra’ĕl.

13“And when you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people as Aharon your brother was gathered,

14because you rebelled against My mouth in the Wilderness of Tsin, in the strife of the congregation, to set Me apart at the waters before their eyes.” These were the waters of Meriḇah, at Qaḏĕsh in the Wilderness of Tsin.

15And Mosheh spoke to יהוה, saying,

16“Let יהוה, the Elohim of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,

17who goes out before them and comes in before them, who leads them out and brings them in, so that the congregation of יהוה be not like sheep without a shepherd.”

18And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Take Yehoshua son of Nun with you, a man in whom is the Spirit. And you shall lay your hand on him,

19and shall set him before El‛azar the priest and before all the congregation, and give him charge before their eyes,

20and shall put some of your esteem upon him, so that all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl obey him.

21“And he is to stand before El‛azar the priest, who shall inquire before יהוה for him by the right-ruling of the Urim. At his word they go out, and at his word they come in, both he and all the children of Yisra’ĕl with him, all the congregation.”

22And Mosheh did as יהוה commanded him, and took Yehoshua and set him before El‛azar the priest and before all the congregation,

23and laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as יהוה commanded by the hand of Mosheh.
