4Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father."
5Moses brought their cause before Yahweh.
6Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
7"The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: you shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers; and you shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
8You 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.
9If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
10If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers.
