After reading chapter 27:
*The daughters of a man named Zelophehad went to the tabernacle and stood before Moses and the other leaders. They wanted their father's inheritance because their father had no sons. Moses asked Yahweh what to do and he said if a man has no sons, his daughters inherit. Then he laid out a plan of inheritance for someone who dies without direct (male) descendants.
*After that Yaweh tells Moses to go up on a mountain to look at the promised land, then he will die. Moses asked him to appoint a new leader first. God told Moses to choose Joshua and commission him in the presence of the priests and the assembly. Joshua was to obtain his decisions from Eleazar the priest, who would get them by asking the "Urim" which was an unidentified object used for divination, introduced in Exodus 28. So, Joshua was commissioned.
