Numbers 27:8-14 God's Word Translation (GW)

8. “Tell the Israelites: If a man dies and leaves no sons, turn his property over to his daughters.

9. If he has no daughters, give his property to his brothers.

10. If he has no brothers, give his property to his uncles on his father’s side of the family.

11. If he has no uncles, give his property to the nearest relative in his family, and that relative will take possession of it. This will be a rule for the Israelites, as the Lord commanded Moses.”

12. The Lord said to Moses, “Go up into the Abarim Mountains, and take a look at the land I will give the Israelites.

13. After you see it, you, too, will join your ancestors ⌊in death⌋, as your brother Aaron did.

14. You both rebelled against my command in the Desert of Zin. You didn’t show the people how holy I am when they were complaining at the oasis.” (This was the oasis of Meribah at Kadesh in the Desert of Zin.)
