Why should the name of our father disappear from his clan because he had no sons? Give us property among our father’s brothers.”
5
So Moses brought their case before the LORD,
6
and the LORD answered him,
7
“The daughters of Zelophehad speak correctly. You certainly must give them property as an inheritance among their father’s brothers and transfer their father’s inheritance to them.
8
Furthermore, you shall say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, you are to transfer his inheritance to his daughter.
