1 And the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hopher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, of the tribe of Mannasseh, of the sons of Joseph, came near; and these were their names, Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and before all the congregation at the door of the tabernacle of witness, saying,
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the midst of the congregation that rebelled against the Lord in the gathering of Korah; for he died for his own sin, and he had no sons. Let not the name of our father be blotted out of the midst of his people, because he has no son — give us an inheritance in the midst of our father's brethren.
4 And Moses brought their case before the Lord.
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6 The daughters of Zelophehad have spoken rightly: you shall surely give them a possession of inheritance in the midst of their father's brethren, and you shall assign their father's inheritance to them.
7 And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying,
8 If a man die, and have no son, you shall assign his inheritance to his daughter.
9 And if he has no daughter, you shall give his inheritance to his brother.
10 And if he has no brother, you shall give his inheritance to his father's brother.
11 And if there be no brother of his father, you shall give the inheritance to his nearest relation of his tribe, to inherit his possessions; and this shall be to the children of Israel an ordinance of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses.
