5 So Moses laid their case before the Lord,
6 and the Lord said to him:
7 The plea of Zelophehad’s daughters is just; you shall give them hereditary land among their father’s kindred and transfer their father’s heritage to them.
8 Tell the Israelites: If a man dies without leaving a son, you shall transfer his heritage to his daughter;
9 if he has no daughter, you shall give his heritage to his brothers;
10 if he has no brothers, you shall give his heritage to his father’s brothers;
11 if his father had no brothers, you shall give his heritage to his nearest relative in his clan, who shall then take possession of it.This will be the statutory procedure for the Israelites, as the Lord commanded Moses.
