Numbers 27:2–11

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. ⁸And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter. ⁹And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren. ¹⁰And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father’s brethren. ¹¹And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto ^fhis kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel ^ga statute of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses.
