4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give to us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.
5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
6 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak what is right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
8 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a man shall die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
9 And if he shall have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance to his brethren.
10 And if he shall have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance to his father's brethren.
