slays the adulterers and stays the plague—Israel is commanded to vex the
Midianites who beguiled them.

say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:

he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and
made an atonement for
the children of Israel.

explained—Moses will see but not enter the promised land—Joshua is called and
set apart to lead Israel.
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.
18 ¶ And the Lord said unto Moses,
Take thee Joshua the
son of Nun, a man in
whom is the spirit, and lay thine 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 some of thine honour upon him, that all
the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
21 And
he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of 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 commanded
by the hand of Moses.

unto Moses, saying,
