N UMBERS. 27--21

26-58

58 These are the families of the Levites; The family of Libni, the family of

Khabanig the family of Makhli; the family of Mushi; the family of Kharaki; and Kahath begot Amram,

59 and the name of Amram’s wife was Yokabed, 2. descendant of Levi, who was born to Levi in Mitzer,1 and she bore to Amram, Aaron, and Moses,

60 and Miriam their sister. And there were born to Aaron, Nadab and Abihua, and Aliazer, and Aithamar.

61 But Nadab and Abihua died in pre- senting strange fire in the presence of the EvE1z—r.1v1NG. 62 Their enrolment was twe¤ty—three thousand, all males from a month old and upwards. But they were not numbered among the children of Ismel, for no portion was given to them among the children of Israel. 63 This was the census taken by Moses and Aliazer the priest, when they enumerated the sons of Israel at the Fords of Moab near the

64 Torrent, by jeriko. But among these there was not one who had been enrolled by Moses and Aaron the priest when they enumerated the children of Israel in the desert of

65 Sinai, for the Evn1z~L1v1Ne had said; ‘ They should die in the desert, and there should not remain a man of them, except Kaleb, the son of }ephanah, and joshua, the son Wha Quin uf ijzirzsszs. 27 On one occasion the daughters of Tzilafkad, the son of Khafer, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, the son of ]oseph,~··(and the names of thesegirls were Makhlah, Noah, and Khaglah and Mikah, and Thirt-

2 zah,) ——approached, and placed them- selves before Moses, and Aliazer the priest, and the Princes, and all the Parliament at the opening of the Hall of Assembly, saying; Our father died in the desert, for he was among the confederacy who revolted against the EvER—L1v1N—G with the associates of Korah, and he died for his sin, and he had no

4 sons. Why should the name of our in the

Hebrew idiom of language does not mean to Levi personally, but simply a descendant of rlthe ribe. The length of time makes lt impossible for her to have been Levi’s personal child.-·-·F. F. father be taken from among his family because he had not a son? Give us an inheritance among the brothers of our father} Moses therefore presented it for 5 decision before the EVER-L1v1NG, and ]EHOvAH commanded Moses 6 say1ng;··——· ‘ What the daughters of Tzilaikad 7 have asked of you grant.—~Give them a share to inherit amongst the brothers of their father, and assign the inheritance of their father to them. You shall also command the 8 children of Israel, that, when a man dies and has not a son, you shall assign his estate to his daughters. But if he has no daughter you shall 9 assign his estate to his brother. But if he has no brother then you shall give his estate to his father, or to his next of kin of his own family, and he shall possess it, and this shall be an institution of justice, which the Evan-Lxvmc commands to Moses? Eb: @2ath of £u¤zs Rash. Then the Evan-uvme said to

Ascend this hill bythe fords, and survey the country which I have given to the children of Israel. When you have seen it, you shall be added to your fathers, yourself, as Aaron your brother was added, because you 10 11 I2 rebelled openly in the Wilderness of Tzin, when the Parliament rebelled, in not sanctifying Me at the Waters, in their sight, at the Waters of Strife in the Wilderness of Tzin.' And Moses replied to the EvER— 15

Appoiut a man, 16 Lrvme Gora of the breath of all fi-esh, over the Assembly, who may w go out before then1 and come in _before them; and who can lead them out and bring them back, so that the Assembly of the Evmz-Lrvrue may not be like sheep without a shepherd! Juzlma uppniulzh in zuzczzh $¤zz¤. The EvER·L1v1NG replied to

Take to yourself joshua the son of Nun; a man who has spirit in him, and strike your hand upon him, and place him before Aliazer the priest, and before all the Parliament, x8`

and appoint him in their sight; and 20 put- your Majesty upon him, so that all the representatives of the children of Israel may listen to him. Thus zi TKO
