(25,11) “Pinchas, the son of Elozor, [and grand] son of Aharon the kohein, has turned My anger away from Bnei Yisroel by his vengeance for Me among them, so that I did not destroy Bnei Yisroel in My vengeance.

(25,12) Therefore tell [him], that I give him My covenant [of] peace.

(25,13) It shall be for him and his descendants after him a covenant of eternal kehunah because he was zealous for his God and made atonement for Bnei Yisroel.”

(26,54) To the large [tribe], increase their inheritance, and to the small, diminish their inheritance; each person, according to his number, shall be given his inheritance.

(26,55) Only by lot should the land be divided, according to the names of their fathers’ tribes should they inherit it.

(26,61) Nadav and Avihu died when they offered a forbidden fire before Adonoy.

(26,62) They numbered twenty-three thousand, for all males from one month and older. They were not counted among Bnei Yisroel, since no inheritance was given to them among Bnei Yisroel.

(26,63) This is the census of Moshe and Elozor the kohein who counted the Bnei Yisroel in the plains of Moav, at Yardein Yereicho.

(26,64) Among this [census] there was no man who had been included in the census of Moshe and Aharon the kohein, who had counted Bnei Yisroel in the wilderness of Sinai,

(26,65) because Adonoy said to them that they would die in the desert. No one was left with the exception of Kaleiv, son of Yefuneh and Yehoshua, son of Nun.

(27,1) And they approached—the daughters of Tzelofchad, son of Cheifer, son of Gil’ad, son of Machir, son of Menashe, of the families of Menashe the son of Yoseif. The names of his daughters were: Machlah, No’ah, Choglah, Milkah and Sirtzah.

(27,2) They stood before Moshe and before Elozor the kohein, and before the princes, and the entire community at the Tent of Meeting entrance, saying:

(27,3) “Our father died in the wilderness, but he was not among the group that banded together against Adonoy, in the company of Korach, but he died because of his own sin without leaving any sons.

(27,4) Why should the name of our father be omitted from his family because he did not have a son? Give us a possession [of land] among our father’s brothers.”

(27,5) Moshe brought their case before Adonoy.

(27,6) Adonoy spoke to Moshe saying:

(27,7) “Tzelofchad’s daughters speak justly, give them a hereditary portion of land among their father’s brothers, and transfer the inheritance of their father to them.

(27,8) Speak to Bnei Yisroel and tell them, that if a man dies and has no son, his hereditary property shall be transferred to his daughter.

(27,9) If he has no daughter, you shall give his hereditary property to his brothers.

(27,10) If he has no brothers, you shall give his hereditary property to his father’s brothers.

(27,11) If his father had no brothers, you shall give his hereditary property to the relative closest to him in his family who will then inherit it. This shall remain a decreed law for Bnei Yisroel, as Adonoy had commanded Moshe.”

(27,12) Adonoy said to Moshe: “Go up this Avarim Mountain and look at the land that I have given to Bnei Yisroel.

(27,13) [After] you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aharon was gathered.

(27,14) Because you disobeyed My words in the wilderness of Tzin, when the community quarreled, [you were] to sanctify Me through the water, before their eyes.” Those were the waters of dispute at Kadeish, in the wilderness of Tzin.

(27,15) Moshe spoke to Adonoy, saying:

(27,16) “Let Adonoy, God of the spirits, appoint a man over the community,

(27,17) who will go forth before them, and who will come back before them, and who would lead them out and bring them in, so that the community of Adonoy shall not be like sheep that have no shepherd.”

(27,18) Adonoy said to Moshe: “Take to yourself Yehoshua son of Nun, a man in whom there is spirit, and lay your hand on him.

(27,19) Stand him before Elozor the kohein and before the entire community, and command him before their eyes.

(27,20) Bestow some of your radiance on him, so that the entire community of Bnei Yisroel will hear.

(27,21) He shall stand before Elozor the kohein, and ask, of him, through the judgment of the Urim before Adonoy. By his word they will come out and go in—he, all Bnei Yisroel with him, and the entire community.”

(27,22) Moshe did as Adonoy commanded him. He took Yehoshua and presented him to Elozor the kohein and to the entire community.

(27,23) He laid his hands on him and commanded him, just as Adonoy had commanded through Moshe.

(28,1) Adonoy spoke to Moshe saying:

(28,2) “Command Bnei Yisroel and say to them, ‘My offering, My food of My fires, a pleasing aroma to Me, you shall be vigilant to offer to Me at its prescribed time’.”

(28,3) Say to them: “This is the fire-offering that you shall offer to Adonoy; yearling lambs without blemish, two each day, as a constant (daily) burnt-offering.

(28,4) Offer one lamb in the morning and offer the second lamb in the afternoon.

(28,5) And one tenth of an eiphah of fine flour as a meal-offering, mixed with beaten oil measuring one fourth of a hin.
