Matthew(i) 1 And the daughters of Zelaphead the Sonne of Heber the sonne of Gilead, the sonne of Machir the sonne of Manasse of the kynredes of Manasse, the sone of Ioseph (whose names were Mahela, Noha, Hagla, Melcha, and Thyrza) 2 came and stode before Moses & Eleazar, the priest & before the Lordes & all the multitude in the dore of the tabernacle of wytnes saying 3 our father dyed in the wyldernesse, & was not amonge the companye of theim that gathered them selues togyther agaynst the Lord in the congregation of Corah: But dyed in hys owne synne, and had no sonnes. 4 Wherfore sholde the name of our fathers be taken away from amonge hys kynred, bycause he had no sonne? Gyue vnto vs a possession among the brethren of our father. 5 And Moses brought theyr cause before the Lorde. 6 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses sayinge: 7 The daughters of Zelaphead speake ryght thou shalt gyue them a possession to enherit among their fathers brethren, & shalte turne the enheritaunce of their father vnto theim. 8 And speake vnto the children of Israel saying If a man dye & haue no sonne ye shall turne hys enheritaunce vnto hys daughter. 9 If he haue no doughter, ye shall gyue hys enheritaunce vnto hys brethren. 10 If he haue no brethren, ye shall gyue hys enheritaunce vnto hys fathers brethren. 11 If he haue no fathers brethren, ye shal giue hys enheritaunce vnto hym that is nexte to hym of hys kynred, and lette hym possesse it. And thys shall be vnto the chyldren of Israell an ordinaunce, and a lawe, as the Lorde hathe commaunded Moses.
