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.

Numbers 27:3

THE DAUGHTERS OF ZELOPHEHAD ASK FOR AN INHERITANCE. (Numbers 27:1-11)

Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not . . . in the company of . . . Korah—This declaration might be necessary because his death might have occurred about the time of that rebellion; and especially because, as the children of these conspirators were involved along with their fathers in the awful punishment, their plea appeared the more proper and forcible that their father did not die for any cause that doomed his family to lose their lives or their inheritance.

died in his own sin—that is, by the common law of mortality to which men, through sin, are subject.
