Gen Z: Numbers 27
1So the squad of Zelophehad's daughters rolled up, he was from the fam of Manasseh, and their names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. Vibes.
2They pulled up on Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders at the tabernacle, like, "Yo."
3Our dad passed in the wild, not with the crew that went against the Lord with Korah; he just did his own thing and had no sons. No cap.
4Why should our dad's name get ghosted in the fam just 'cause he had no son? We want our spot in the fam, fr.
5Moses took their case to the Lord, like, "What’s good?"
6And the Lord hit up Moses, saying,
7The daughters of Zelophehad are spitting facts: give them their inheritance among their dad's crew; let it pass to them. Lit.
8Tell the Israelites, if a dude dies with no son, his inheritance goes to his daughter. Periodt.
9If he has no daughter, then the inheritance goes to his bros.
10If no bros, then it goes to his dad's bros.
11If his dad has no bros, then the inheritance goes to the closest fam member, and he’ll own it: this is a law for Israel, just like the Lord told Moses.
12The Lord told Moses, "Climb this mountain Abarim and peep the land I'm giving to Israel."
13Once you see it, you’ll join your people, just like Aaron did.
14You rebelled against my orders in Zin's desert, causing drama in the crew, and didn’t show me love at the water before their eyes: that water is Meribah in Kadesh in Zin's wilderness.
15Moses was like, "Yo, Lord,"
16"Let the Lord, the God of all spirits, pick a leader for the crew,"
17"Someone who can lead them in and out; don’t let them be like sheep without a shepherd."
18The Lord said to Moses, "Get Joshua, son of Nun, he’s got the spirit; lay your hands on him."
19Bring him in front of Eleazar the priest and all the crew; give him a mission in their sight.
20Put some of your honor on him so everyone stays obedient.
21He’ll stand before Eleazar, who’ll ask for guidance from the Lord; at his word, they’ll go out and come in, him and the whole crew.
22Moses did what the Lord said: he took Joshua, set him before Eleazar and the whole crew.
23He laid hands on him and gave him a mission, just like the Lord told Moses to do.
