Numbers 27
1 - 11 The Daughters of Zelophehad
They thought they were being treated unfairly and the Lord agreed. The rules were changed as follows: "If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall pass his inheritance on to his daughter (8)." If there's no daughter, then it goes to the brothers, and then to the nearest kinsman of the clan.
12 - 23 Joshua Appointed Moses' Successor
Joshua is "a man in whom is the spirit" (18). In order to transfer authority, Moses lays his hands on him (Presbyterians, at least, still do this at ordination).
