3. “Our father died in the wilderness; but he was not in the company of those who gathered together against the Lord, in company with Korah, but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.
4. Why should the name of our father be removed from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession among our father’s brothers.”
5. So Moses brought their case before the Lord.
6. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
7. “The daughters of Zelophehad speak what is right; you shall surely give them a possession of inheritance among their father’s brothers, and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
8. And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
9. If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
