*
Then drew near the daughters of Zeloph '
ehad the son of Hepher ,
son of Gilead ,
son of Machir ,
son of Manas '
seh ,
from the families of Manas '
seh the son of Joseph .
The names of his daughters were :
Mahlah ,
Noah ,
Hoglah ,
Milcah ,
and Tirzah .
*
And they stood before Moses ,
and before Elea '
zar the priest ,
and before the leaders and all the congregation ,
at the door of the tent of meeting ,
saying ,
* "
Our father died in the wilderness ;
he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah ,
but died for his own sin ;
and he had no sons .
*
Why should the name of our father be taken away from his family ,
because he had no son ?
Give to us a possession among our father '
s brethren ."
*
Moses brought their case before the LORD .
*
And the LORD said to Moses ,
* "
The daughters of Zeloph '
ehad are right ;
you shall give them possession of an inheritance among their father '
s brethren and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them .
