  (6)  And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:  (7)  'The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.

 

  (8)  And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying: If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.  (9)  And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.  (10)  And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.  (11)  And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it. And it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.'

 

  (12)  And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.  (13)  And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered;  (14)  because ye rebelled against My commandment in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify Me at the waters before their eyes.' - These are the waters of Meribath-kadesh in the wilderness of Zin. -

 

  (15)  And Moses spoke unto the LORD, saying:  (16)  'Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,  (17)  who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.'

 

  (18)  And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is spirit, and lay thy hand upon him;  (19)  and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.  (20)  And thou shalt put of thy honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may hearken.  (21)  And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the LORD; at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.'  (22)  And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation.  (23)  And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD spoke by the hand of Moses.

MEDITATION: If the L-RD tells me to prepare to leave this world, what preparations are required?
