 27:2
27:1 A petition was presented by the daughters of Tzelafchad, son of Chefer, son of Gilead, son of Makhir, son of Manasseh, of the family of Joseph's son Manasseh. The names of these daughters were Machlah, No'ah, Chaglah, Milkah and Tirtzah.
Vatikravnah benot Tslofchad ben-Chefer ben-Gil'ad ben-Machir ben-Menasheh lemishpechot Menasheh ven-Yosef ve'eleh shmot benotav Machlah No'ah veChoglah uMilkah veTirtsah.
27:2 They now stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the princes, and the entire community at the Communion Tent entrance with the following petition:
Vata'amodnah lifney Moshe velifney El'azar hakohen velifney hanesi'im vechol-ha'edah petach ohel-mo'ed lemor.
