Numbers 27:1–7

Then came the daughters of ^aZelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah. ²And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, ³Our father ^bdied in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah; but ^cdied in his own sin, and had no sons. ⁴Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? ^dGive unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father. ⁵And Moses ^dbrought their cause before the Lord. ⁶And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ⁷The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: ^ethou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
