3 "Our father died in the desert, and was not with the sedition, which was stirred up against the Lord under Korah, but he died in his own sin; he had no male sons. Why is his name taken away from his family, because he had no son? Give us a possession among the kinsmen of our father."
4 And Moses referred their case to the judgment of the Lord.
5 And the Lord said to him:
6 "The daughters of Zelophehad are asking for something just. So give them a possession among the kinsmen of their father, and let them succeed him in his inheritance.
7 And to the sons of Israel, you shall speak these things:
8 When a man dies without a son, his inheritance shall be transferred to his daughter.
9 If he has no daughter, his brothers shall succeed him.
