* 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 H * 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 , * Our father died in the wilderness , and he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against LORD in the company of Korah , but he died in his own sin , and he had no sons . * 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 . * And Moses brought their case before LORD . * And LORD spoke to Moses , saying , * The daughters of Zelophehad speak right . Thou shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father 's brothers , and thou shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them . * And thou shall speak to the sons of Israel , saying , If a man dies , and has no son , then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter . * And if he has no daughter , then ye shall give his inheritance to his brothers . * And if he has no brothers , then ye shall give his inheritance to his father 's brothers . * And if his father has no brothers , then ye shall give his inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family , and he shall possess it . And it shall be to the sons of Israel a statute [and ] ordinance , as LORD commanded Mose
