Inheritance Laws
1 Then came the daughters of aZelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 And they stood before Moses, before Eleazar the priest, and before the leaders and all the congregation, by the doorway of the tabernacle of meeting, saying:
3 “Our father adied in the wilderness; but he was not in the company of those who gathered together against the Lord, bin company with Korah, but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.
4 Why should the name of our father be aremoved from among his family because he had no son? bGive us a possession among our father’s brothers.”
5 So Moses abrought their case before the Lord.
6 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
7 “The daughters of Zelophehad speak what is right; ayou shall surely give them a possession of inheritance among their father’s brothers, and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
8 And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
9 If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
