Each will be given its inheritance according to the number of its enrollment. 55The land, however, will be apportioned by lot.

Summary
63These are the ones whom Moses and Eleazar the priest enrolled. They enrolled the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho. 64There wasn't one person among these from those enrolled by Moses and Aaron the priest when they enrolled the Israelites in the Sinai desert. 65The LORD had said to them, "They will die in the desert." Not one of them remained, except Caleb, Jephunneh's son, and Joshua, Nun's son.
Zelophehad's daughters' inheritance
Numbers 27The daughters of Zelophehad, Hepher's son, Gilead's grandson, Machir's great-grandson, and Manasseh's great-great-grandson, belonging to the clan of Manasseh and son of Joseph, came forward. His daughters' names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 2They stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the chiefs, and the entire community at the entrance of the meeting tent and said, 3"Our father died in the desert. He wasn't part of the community who gathered against the LORD with Korah's community. He died for his own sin, but he had no sons. 4Why should our father's name be taken away from his clan because he didn't have a son? Give us property among our father's brothers."
5Moses brought their case before the LORD. 6The LORD said to Moses: 7Zelophehad's daughters are right in what they are saying. By all means, give them property as an inheritance among their father's brothers. Hand over their father's inheritance to them. 8Speak to the Israelites and say: If a man dies and doesn't have a son, you must hand his inheritance over to his daughters. 9If he doesn't have a daughter, you will give his inheritance to his brothers. 10If he doesn't have any brothers, you should give his inheritance to his father's brothers. 11If his father had no brothers, you should give his inheritance to his nearest relative from his clan. He will take possession of it. This will be a regulation and a case law for the Israelites, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Announcement of Moses' death
12The LORD said to Moses, "Go up this mountain, Abarim, and look at the land that I've given to the Israelites. 13You will see it and then join your ancestors just as Aaron your brother has,14because in the Zin desert, when the community confronted you, you rebelled against my command to show them my holiness by means of the water." (These are the waters of Meribahr of Kadesh in the Zin desert.)
15Moses spoke to the LORD: 16"Let the LORD, the God of all living things, appoint someone over the community17who will go out before them and return before them, someone who will lead them out and bring them back, so that the LORD's community won't be like sheep without their shepherd."
18The LORD said to Moses, "Take Joshua, Nun's son, a man who has the spirit, and lay your hand on him. 19Place him before Eleazar the priest and the entire community and commission him before them. 20You will give him some of your power so that the entire Israelite community may obey. 21He will stand before Eleazar the priest, who will determine for him the decision by lot before the LORD. At his command, he and all the Israelites with him, the entire community, will go out, and at his command they will return."
22Moses did as the LORD commanded him. He took Joshua and placed him before Eleazar the priest and the entire community. 23He laid his hands on him and commissioned him as the LORD had spoken through Moses.
