4.Mose 27 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk
1En dag, hvor israelitterne og deres ledere var forsamlet ved åbenbaringsteltets indgang, kom Zelofhads døtre med en forespørgsel til Moses, Eleazar, og stammelederne. Disse fem søstre hed Mala, Noa, Hogla, Milka og Tirtza, og de hørte til Manasses, Josefs søns, stamme. Deres far, Zelofhad, var fra heferitternes slægt. Hefer var søn af Gilead, som var søn af Makir, en af Manasses sønner.3„Vores far døde i ørkenen,” sagde de, „men han var ikke iblandt dem, der sammen med Kora gjorde oprør imod Herren. Han døde en naturlig død, men uden at efterlade sig nogen sønner.4Kan det være rigtigt, at vores fars navn skal gå i glemmebogen, bare fordi han ikke opnåede at få nogen sønner? Bør vi døtre ikke få tildelt et jordstykke på lige fod med vores fars brødre?”5Moses gik til Herren for at få klarhed i denne sag,6og Herren sagde til ham:7„Zelofhads døtre har ret. De bør få tildelt jord på lige fod med deres farbrødre. Giv dem det jordstykke, deres far ville have fået, hvis han stadig havde været i live.8Sig til israelitterne: Hvis en mand dør uden at efterlade sig nogen sønner, skal hans døtre overtage faderens jord.9Hvis han slet ingen børn har, tilfalder jorden hans brødre.10Hvis han ikke har nogen brødre, tilfalder jorden hans farbrødre,11og hvis han heller ikke har nogen farbrødre, skal den overdrages til nærmeste slægtning.”
Josva indsættes som folkets leder efter Moses
12En dag sagde Herren til Moses: „Gå op på Abarimbjerget og se over på den anden side af Jordanfloden ind i det land, jeg har lovet at give til Israels folk.13Efter at du har set ind i landet, er tiden kommet til, at du skal dø, ligesom Aron allerede er død.14I var jo ulydige imod mig i Zins ørken, dengang folket gjorde oprør. I skaffede folket vand, men gav ikke mig æren for det.” Hermed refererede Herren til episoden ved Meriba i Kadesh i Zins ørken.15Da sagde Moses til Herren:16„Herre, du som er livets ophav, jeg beder dig om først at udvælge en ny leder for folket,17en mand, som kan være deres anfører i krigene og gå foran dem, hvor de end drager hen, så dit folk ikke skal være som en flok får uden hyrde.”18Herren svarede: „Gå hen og hent Josva, Nuns søn. Han er en mand af den rette støbning. Ham skal du tage med hen til præsten Eleazar, og i folkets påsyn skal du lægge hænderne på ham og dermed indsætte ham som leder for dem, så de herefter skal adlyde ham.21Han skal søge råd hos præsten Eleazar, og Eleazar skal ved hjælp af Urim rådspørge mig. Så vil jeg give Eleazar svar, hvorefter han skal give svaret videre til Josva. På den måde vil jeg lede dem.”22Moses adlød Herren og førte Josva til præsten Eleazar, og i folkets påsyn23lagde Moses sine hænder på ham og indviede ham til den ledertjeneste, som Herren havde udvalgt ham til.

The Daughters of Zelophehad
1Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, from the clans of Manasseh the son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.2And they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the chiefs and all the congregation, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying,3“Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah, but died for his own sin. And he had no sons.4Why should the name of our father be taken away from his clan because he had no son? Give to us a possession among our father’s brothers.”5Moses brought their case before the Lord.6And the Lord said to Moses,7“The daughters of Zelophehad are right. You shall give them possession of an inheritance among their father’s brothers and transfer the inheritance of their father to them.8And you shall speak to the people of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter.9And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.10And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.11And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the nearest kinsman of his clan, and he shall possess it. And it shall be for the people of Israel a statute and rule, as the Lord commanded Moses.’”
Joshua to Succeed Moses
12The Lord said to Moses, “Go up into this mountain of Abarim and see the land that I have given to the people of Israel.13When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was,14because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin when the congregation quarreled, failing to uphold me as holy at the waters before their eyes.” (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)15Moses spoke to the Lord, saying,16“Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation17who shall go out before them and come in before them, who shall lead them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the Lord may not be as sheep that have no shepherd.”18So the Lord said to Moses, “Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him.19Make him stand before Eleazar the priest and all the congregation, and you shall commission him in their sight.20You shall invest him with some of your authority, that all the congregation of the people of Israel may obey.21And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the Lord. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the people of Israel with him, the whole congregation.”22And Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua and made him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation,23and he laid his hands on him and commissioned him as the Lord directed through Moses.
