4 Why should the name of our father diminish from among his family, because he has no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father.”
5 Moses brought their case before the Lord.
6 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right. You will certainly give them an inheritance among their father’s brothers, and you will cause the inheritance of their father to pass on to them.
8 You will speak to the children of Israel, saying, “If a man dies, and has no son, then you will cause his inheritance to pass on to his daughter.
9 If he has no daughter, then you will give his inheritance to his brothers.
10 If he has no brothers, then you will give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
