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 ,
came forward :
their names are Mahlah ,
Noah ,
and Hoglah ,
and Milcah ,
and Tirzah .

Numbers:27:2 @
They came before Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs and all the people at the door of the Tent of meeting ,
and said ,
bbe @
Numbers:27:3 @
Death overtook our father in the waste land ;
he was not among those who were banded together with Korah against the Lord ;
but death came to him in his sin ;
and he had no sons .
bbe @
Numbers:27:4 @
Why is the name of our father to be taken away from among his family ,
because he had no son ?
Give us a heritage among our father '
s brothers .

Numbers:27:5 @
So Moses put their cause before the Lord .

Numbers:27:6 @
And the Lord said to Moses ,
bbe @
Numbers:27:7 @
What the daughters of Zelophehad say is right :
certainly you are to give them a heritage among their father '
s brothers :
and let the property which would have been their father '
s go to them .
bbe @
Numbers:27:8 @
And say to the children of Israel ,
If a man has no son at the time of his death ,
let his heritage go to his daughter .
bbe @
Numbers:27:9 @
And if he has no daughter ,
then give his heritage to his brothers .
bbe @
Numbers:27:10 @
And if he has no brothers ,
then give his heritage to his father '
s brothers .
bbe @
Numbers:27:11 @
And if his father has no brothers ,
then give it to his nearest relation in the family ,
as his heritage :
this is to be a decision made by law for the children of Israel ,
as the Lord gave orders to Moses .
