4 Just because he had no sons, why should our father's name disappear from Israel? Give us property among our father's relatives.”
5 Moses presented their case to the Lord,
6 and the Lord said to him,
7 “What the daughters of Zelophehad request is right; give them property among their father's relatives. Let his inheritance pass on to them.
8 Tell the people of Israel that whenever a man dies without leaving a son, his daughter is to inherit his property.
9 If he has no daughter, his brothers are to inherit it.
10 If he has no brothers, his father's brothers are to inherit it.
