5 Moses asked the Lord what should be done,
6 and the Lord answered:
7 Zelophehad's daughters are right. They should each be given part of the land their father would have received.
8 Tell the Israelites that when a man dies without a son, his daughter will inherit his land.
9 If he has no daughter, his brothers will inherit the land.
10 But if he has no brothers, his father's brothers will inherit the land.
11 And if his father has no brothers, the land must be given to his nearest relative in the clan. This is my law, and the Israelites must obey it.
