Daughters
A man named Zelophehad died without any sons. The five daughters of Zelophehad went to Moses and requested to receive the land that Zelophehad's sons would have received. Yahweh told Moses that it is right to give a man's inheritance to his daughter if he has no son.
The new leader is Joshua
God told Moses to appoint Joshua as the new leader. Joshua became Yahweh's anointed leader. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/appoint and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/anoint)
