Numbers 27:1-11 And there came nigh the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Chepher, the son of Gil’ad, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Menasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters, Machlah, No’ah, and Choglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And there came nigh the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Chepher, the son of Gil’ad, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Menasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters, Machlah, No’ah, and Choglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah. ² And they stood before Moses, and before Elazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, ³ Our father died in the wilderness; but he was not among the company of those that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korach; but in his own sin he died, and sons he had not. ⁴ Why should the name of our father be done away from the midst of his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us a possession among the brothers of our father. ⁵ And Moses brought their cause before the Lord. ⁶ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, ⁷ The daughters of Zelophehad speak rightly: thou shalt indeed give them a possession as an inheritance among the brothers of their father; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them. ⁸ And unto the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then shall ye cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter. ⁹ And if he have no daughter, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his brothers. ¹⁰ And if he have no brothers, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his father’s brothers. ¹¹ And if his father have no brothers, then shall ye give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall inherit it; and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of justice, as the Lord hath commanded Moses.
