Numbers 27:6-11 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. "The daughters of Zelophehad are asking for something just. So give them a possession among the kinsmen of their father, and let them succeed him in his inheritance.

7. And to the sons of Israel, you shall speak these things:

8. When a man dies without a son, his inheritance shall be transferred to his daughter.

9. If he has no daughter, his brothers shall succeed him.

10. But if there were also no brothers, you shall give the inheritance to the brothers of his father.

11. But if he has no paternal uncles, the inheritance shall be given to those who are closest to him. And this shall be, for the sons of Israel, consecrated as a perpetual law, just as the Lord has instructed Moses."
