* And the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher , the son of Gilead , the son of Machir , the son of Manasseh , of the family of Manasseh , the son of Joseph came . And these are his daughters names : Mahlah , Noah , Hoglah , Milcah , and Tirzah . * And they stood before Moses and Eleazar the priest , and before the rulers and all the congregation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation , saying , * Our father died in the wilderness , and he was not among the company who met together against Jehovah in the company of Korah , but he died for his own sins , and had no son . * Why is our father 's name taken away from the midst of his family because there is no son to him ? Give us an inheritance among our father 's brothers . * And Moses brought their cause before Jehovah . * And Jehovah spoke to Moses , saying , * The daughters of Zelophehad speak rightly . You shall surely give them a possession , an inheritance among their father 's brothers . And you shall cause their father 's inheritance to pass to them . * And you shall speak to the sons of Israel , saying , When a man dies , and has no son , then you shall pass on his inheritance to his daughter . * And if he has no daughter , then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers . * And if he has no brothers , then you shall give his possession to his father 's brothers . * And if his father has no brothers then you shall give his inheritance to his nearest relative , of his family . And he shall own it , and it shall be a statute of judgment to the sons of Israel , as Jehovah has commanded Moses .
