Numbers 27:1–7

¹And daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh son of Joseph, draw near—and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah— ²and stand before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the company, at the opening of the tent of meeting, saying: ³‘Our father died in the wilderness, and he—he was not in the midst of the company who were met together against Jehovah in the company of Korah, but for his own sin he died, and had no sons; ⁴why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of his family because he hath no son? give to us a possession in the midst of the brethren of our father;’ ⁵and Moses bringeth near their cause before Jehovah. ⁶And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ⁷‘Rightly are the daughters of Zelophehad speaking; thou dost certainly give to them a possession of an inheritance in the midst of their father’s brethren, and hast caused to pass over the inheritance of their father to them.
