MLV(i)
1 Then the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph, drew near. And these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah and Hoglah and Milcah and Tirzah.
2 And they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the rulers and all the congregation, at the door of the tent of meeting, saying, 3 Our father died in the wilderness and he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against Jehovah in the company of Korah, but he died in his own sin and he had no sons. 4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father. 5 And Moses brought their case before Jehovah.
6 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right. You will surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers and you will cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
8 And you will speak to the sons of Israel, saying, If a man dies and has no son, then you* will cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter. 9 And if he has no daughter, then you* will give his inheritance to his brothers. 10 And if he has no brothers, then you* will give his inheritance to his father's brothers. 11 And if his father has no brothers, then you* will give his inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family and he will possess it. And it will be to the sons of Israel a statute and ordinance, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
