Chapter 27
7 "The daughters of Zelophehad are right. You shall give them possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers and transfer the inheritance of their father to them. 8 And you shall speak to the people of Israel, saying, 'If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter. [Num 27:7-8 ESV]
And so on...God did not discriminate as to inheritance based on gender. Family names were to continue, and family land was to stay in the family.
2022 - Well...the daughters only inherited if there were no sons. They were in line, but behind the sons. Even if there was only one son and a dozen daughters, that one son would get everything.
The time has come for Moses to be gathered to his fathers, as Aaron was. Moses asks God to name a new leader for Israel, so that they won't be as sheep without a shepherd. God names Joshua, son of Nun.
This verse implies to me that the way God communicates with Israel will change once Moses is gone. God talked to Moses face to face, but now, he will communicate to Joshua through Eleazar, who will communicate with God using the Urim. The Thummin is not mentioned.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the LORD. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the people of Israel with him, the whole congregation." [Num 27:7-8, 21 ESV]
MSB confirms. There's a note in Exodus where the Urim and Thummin are first mentioned. One point is that through these, and the high priest, God could make judgements that were more complex than just a yes or no answer, which could be determined by lots.
