The LORD replied, “Take Joshua son of Nun, who has the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.  Present him to Eleazar the priest before the whole community, and publicly commission him to lead the people.”

Numbers 27:18-20

And the LORD replied to Moses, “The claim of the daughters of Zelophehad is legitimate. You must give them a grant of land along with their father’s relatives. Assign them the property that would have been given to their father.”
Numbers 27:6-7

This did not change laws about women owning property (they still couldn’t), but it protected the inheritance of the father and provided for the daughters.

• ר֣וּחַ (ruach): "spirit," "wind," or "breath." It conveys the idea of life, power, divine presence, and is often associated with God's creative and sustaining power, as well as His presence and influence in the world and in individuals. Plural:  הָרוּחֹ֖ת (hā-rū-ḥōṯ): “the spirits” (Numbers 27:16: “the God of the spirits of all flesh”).
• Greek: πνεῦμα (pneuma): Often used in the New Testament to denote spirit, wind, or breath, similar to "ruach" in the Old Testament.
• Vav=Hebrew conjunction (“and”). Vav relative/consecutive=denoting a sequence of events that are part of the same narrative (and, furthermore, then). Look to the previous verse/context for connection.
• Example: Ruth 1 begins with a Vav relative/consecutive “and.” In the Hebrew Bible it comes after Proverbs; in the Septuagint it comes after Judges.
• וַיֹּ֨אמֶר “And he (YHWH) said” Numbers 27:18 (NLT omits, NIV “so”); וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר “And he (Moses) spoke” 27:15 (NLT “then,” NIV omits); וַיֹּ֨אמֶר “And he (YHWH) said” Numbers 27:12 (NLT “one day,” NIV “then”).
• The Lord did not leave the daughters of Zelophehad OR Moses and the Israelites without a solution. Things were not how they should have been, but the story wasn’t over. God made sure they had what they needed (land/inheritance, a leader to bring them into the land). 

Don’t miss the connections. “And” means the story isn’t over.
