4 Why should our father’s name be taken away from his clan because he didn’t have a son? Give us property among our father’s brothers."
5 Moses brought their case before the Lord.
6 The Lord said to Moses:
7 Zelophehad’s daughters are right in what they are saying. By all means, give them property as an inheritance among their father’s brothers. Hand over their father’s inheritance to them.
8 Speak to the Israelites and say: If a man dies and doesn’t have a son, you must hand his inheritance over to his daughters.
9 If he doesn’t have a daughter, you will give his inheritance to his brothers.
10 If he doesn’t have any brothers, you should give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
