2 And they stood before Moses and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the people at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant, and said:
3 Our father died in the desert, and was not in the sedition, that was raised against the Lord under Core, but he died in his own sin: and he had no male children. Why is his name taken away out of his family, because he had no son? Give us a possession among the kinsmen of our father.
4 And Moses referred their cause to the judgment of the Lord.
5 And the Lord said to him:
6 The daughters of Salphaad demand a just thing: Give them a possession among their father's kindred, and let them succeed him in his inheritance.
7 And to the children of Israel thou shalt speak these things:
8 When a man dieth without a son, his inheritance shall pass to his daughter.
