Números 27:9 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 27:9

And if he have no daughter
Dies without any issue:

then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren;
and the children descending from them; that is, if his father was dead; otherwise, if he was living, he was to be preferred to them, according to the Jewish writers; though, according to our law, no estate in fee simple ascends lineally, or goes from a son, who has made a purchase of it, to a father: in the Misnah it is said ^F24, the order of inheritances is thus,

``if a man dies and has no son, then they cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter; a son is before a daughter, and all that descend from the son are before the daughter; the daughter is before the brethren (of her father), and those that descend from the daughter are before the brethren; the brethren (of a man) are before his father's brethren (or his uncles); and they that descend from his brethren are before his father's brethren: this is the general rule, everyone that is before in the inheritance, those that descend from him are before others, and a father is before all that descend from him.''

Números 27:9 In-Context

7 O que as filhas de Zelofeade falam é justo; certamente lhes darás possessão de herança entre os irmãos de seu pai; a herança de seu pai farás passar a elas.

8 E dirás aos filhos de Israel: Se morrer um homem, e não tiver filho, fareis passar a sua herança � sua filha.

9 E, se não tiver filha, dareis a sua herança a seus irmãos.

10 Mas, se não tiver irmãos, dareis a sua herança aos irmãos de seu pai.

11 Se também seu pai não tiver irmãos, então dareis a sua herança a seu parente mais chegado dentre a sua família, para que a possua; isto será para os filhos de Israel estatuto de direito, como o Senhor ordenou a Moisés.
