4
Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family because he has no son? Give unto us
therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.
5
And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
6
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
7
The daughters of Zelophehad speak right; thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren, and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
8
And thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, If a man dies and has no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
